Diluent A

Description

Diluent A is recommended for making dilutions of New England Biolabs, Inc. restriction enzymes.

When necessary, we recommend diluting enzymes just prior to use and suggest that the final concentration of diluted enzymes be at least 1,000 units/ml. Restriction enzymes should be stored at their selling concentrations.
