NEB® PCR Cloning Kit (Without Competent Cells)
Allows for in vitro transcription. Also available with competent cells.
Product Introduction
Easy cloning of all PCR products, including blunt and TA ends
- Updated to allow for in vitro transcription with both SP6 and T7 promoters
- BsaI-site removed from the ampicillin-resistant gene (allows for the cloning of Golden Gate Assembly modules)
- Fast cloning experiments with 5-minute ligation step
- Simplified screening with low/no colony background and no blue/white selection required
- Save time by eliminating purification steps
- Flanking restriction sites available for easy subcloning, including choice of two single digest options
- Provided analysis primers allow for downstream colony PCR screening or sequencing
- Ready-to-use kit components include 1 kb control amplicon, linearized cloning vector and single-use competent E. coli
- Longer shelf life (12 months), as compared to some commercially available products
- Also available with competent cells

FAQs & Troubleshooting
FAQs
- How does the NEB® PCR Cloning Kit work?
- How can the cloning vector work with both blunt-ended amplicons and single-base overhang-containing amplicons?
- Do these polishing components present in the master mix affect my cloning efficiency if my insert already has blunt ends?
- Do my inserts have to possess 5´ phosphates?
- Can the cloning kit be used for inserts that are not necessarily PCR amplicons?
- Can the cloning kit be used with inserts containing 5´ or 3´ overhangs greater than the single-base overhang achieved by PCR with Taq DNA polymerase?
- Can I use the NEB PCR Cloning Kit featuring pMiniT 2.0 for Golden Gate Assembly?
- Does the PCR product need to be purified?
- Can I use a different competent E. coli strain than the provided NEB 10-beta strain?
- How can I maximize the number of transformants?
- Can I scale down the reactions to use less vector?
- Are there limits regarding the size of inserts that can be cloned?
- Are the NEB 10-beta Competent E. coli (Cloning Efficiency) provided in the kit the same cells as NEB 10-beta Competent E. coli (High Efficiency)?
- How can I determine if my NEB 10-beta cells are competent?
- Can Cloning Mix 1 and Cloning Mix 2 be mixed together before adding them to the ligation reaction?
- Where are the +1 transcription positions for the SP6 and T7 promoters for in vitro transcription and translation located?
- What is the difference between the original pMiniT and the pMiniT 2.0 linearized vector backbone now provided in the kit?
- When cloning a PCR fragment into the pMiniT 2.0 vector provided with the NEB PCR cloning kit, where in the multiple cloning site (MCS) of the vector is the insert ligated?
