High-Fidelity (HF®) Restriction Endonucleases
For over 50 years, New England Biolabs has been developing innovative solutions for molecular biology applications. The respected leader in the field of restriction enzyme biology, NEB has developed a line of High-Fidelity (HF®) Restriction Enzymes. These engineered enzymes have the same specificity as the native enzyme, with the added benefit of reduced star activity, rapid digestion (5-15 minutes) and 100% activity in rCutSmart™ and CutSmart® Buffer.
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.
Optimized performance for a wide range of conditions
High Fidelity Restriction Enzymes have been engineered by exchanging functional amino acid residues and then screening for optimal mutants that perform under a wide range of conditions. Whether you are setting up digests for 5-15 minutes or overnight, or using varying amounts of enzymes, HF enzymes ensure the performance you need.
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.
