PvuII
neb31 cloned at NEB recombinant time saver dil_B 37 No

PvuII has been reformulated with Recombinant Albumin (rAlbumin) beginning with Lot #10196883. 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.

Product Information

Description

PvuII has a High Fidelity version PvuII-HF® (NEB #R3151).

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 minutes 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 Notes

  1. May exhibit star activity in rCutSmart Buffer.
  2. PvuII does not cut CAGm4CTG, while cutting at CAGm5CTG occurs at a significantly reduced rate.
  3. For enzymes that cannot be heat-inactivated, we recommend using a column for cleanup (such as the Monarch® PCR & DNA Cleanup Kit), or running the reaction on an agarose gel and then extracting the DNA (we recommend Monarch Gel Extraction Kit), or performing a phenol/chloroform extraction.
