High-throughput cloning and automation solutions
High-throughput DNA assembly |
NEBuilder® HiFi DNA Assembly and NEBridge® Golden Gate Assembly are leading the way in the next generation of cloning. Both methods are amenable to high-throughput workflows and scale up using automation platforms such as the Echo® 525 Liquid Handler from Labcyte®, Inc. and the mosquito® LV from sptlabtech. High efficiency (> 95%) and accuracy with both cloning methods ensures you can confidently and quickly progress with accurate constructs.
NEBuilder HiFi is recommended when working with 2–11 fragment assemblies, while NEBridge Golden Gate Assembly is appropriate for more complex designs, as well as designs containing regions of high GC content or areas of repeat. Please refer to the DNA Assembly Selection Chart for additional help determining which product is best suited for your needs.

High-throughput mutagenesis |
Reliably create mutant libraries in a high-throughput workflow, whether making single or multiple point mutations, or performing combinatorial mutagenesis.
For single point mutations, site directed mutagenesis using Q5® Hot Start DNA Polymerase and KLD Enzyme Mix is recommended, and for multiple sites, or combinatorial mutagenesis, we recommend NEBuilder HiFi DNA Assembly.
Single site-directed mutagenesis
- Quickly create mutant libraries with primers designed with our free online tool, NEBaseChanger®
- Scale-up, or miniaturize with individual master mix formats compatible with automation
- Use Q5 Hot Start High-Fidelity 2X Master Mix (NEB #M0494) for PCR amplification
- Use KLD Enzyme Mix (NEB #M0554) for kinase, ligase and DpnI enzymatic activities in single mix
- Reduce screening of correct mutants with extremely accurate and robust Q5 High-Fidelity DNA Polymerase
- Take advantage of automation compatible room temperature reaction set up using a Hot Start Polymerase
Multi site-directed mutagenesis
Using NEBuilder HiFi DNA Assembly (NEB #E2621), perform multi-site mutagenesis or combinatorial mutagenesis for diverse multi-site mutant library creation and screening.
High-throughput protein expression and purification |
Traditional cell-based protein expression methods are challenged by limitations in speed, throughput and automation complexity. Synthesizing proteins using cell-free protein synthesis (CFPS), can overcome these shortcomings and provide a rapid and reproducible method, even for toxic proteins. CFPS components are readily dispensable by automated liquid handling devices, thus enabling high-throughput workflows and miniaturization, as described in our application note. High-throughput protein purification and separation can also be accomplished using a variety of high affinity magnetic beads and racks.
