BclI-HF

BclI-HF has been reformulated with Recombinant Albumin (rAlbumin) beginning with Lot #10141289. Learn more.

We are excited to announce that all reaction buffers are now BSA-free. NEB began switching our BSA-containing reaction buffers in April 2021 to buffers containing Recombinant Albumin (rAlbumin) for restriction enzymes and some DNA modifying enzymes. Find more details at www.neb.com/BSA-free.

NEB high fidelity restriction endonuclease that recognizes the sequence T^GATCA

Isoschizomers | Single Letter Code | Pronunciation:

High-Fidelity (HF^®) restriction enzymes have the same specificity as native enzymes, but have been engineered for significantly reduced star activity and performance in a single buffer (rCutSmart^™ Buffer). All HF-restriction enzymes come with Gel Loading Dye, Purple (6X). Enjoy the enhanced performance and added value of our engineered enzymes at the same price as the native enzyme:

Engineered for improved performance
100% activity in rCutSmart Buffer
Time-Saver™ qualified for digestion in 5-15 minutes
Reduced star activity
Supplied with 1 vial of Gel Loading Dye, Purple (6X)
Restriction Enzyme Cut Site: T/GATCA

Product Information

High Fidelity (HF) Restriction Enzymes have 100% activity in rCutSmart Buffer; single-buffer simplicity means more straightforward and streamlined sample processing. HF enzymes also exhibit dramatically reduced star activity. HF enzymes are all Time-Saver qualified and can therefore cut substrate DNA in 5-15 with the flexibility to digest overnight without degradation to DNA. Engineered with performance in mind, HF restriction enzymes are fully active under a broader range of conditions, minimizing off-target products, while offering flexibility in experimental design.

Product Source

Product Notes
1. BclI-HF has the same specificity as BclI (NEB #R0160), but it has been engineered for reduced star activity.
2. Cleaves to leave a 5´ GATC extension which can be efficiently ligated to DNA fragments generated by BamHI, BglII, MboI, Sau3AI and BstYI.
3. This enzyme is blocked by dam methylation. More information can be found at Dam-Dcm and CpG Methylation.
