Product Class: Restriction Endonuclease

NotI
neb31 cloned at NEB recombinant time saver dil_C 37 65 Heat CpG

NotI has been reformulated with Recombinant Albumin (rAlbumin) beginning with Lot #10232248. 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

NotI has a High Fidelity version NotI-HF® (NEB #R3189).

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.
