FAQs & Troubleshooting

FAQs

  1. Why is there a Esp3I site in LITMUS 38 but not LITMUS 39?
  2. What are the differences between BsmBI-v2 and its isoschizomer, Esp3I?
  3. When is star activity a concern?
  4. What does it mean to be Time-Saver™ qualified?
  5. Do I have to set-up digests with Time-Saver™ qualified enzymes for 5-15 minutes? Can I digest longer?
  6. I tested your restriction enzyme on the substrate DNA recommended by NEB, and it appears to be active, however it does not digest my DNA. What could be the reason?
  7. Which restriction enzymes are used in Golden Gate Assembly?
  8. Which restriction enzymes are used in GoldenBraid Assembly?
  9. Is Gel Loading Dye, Purple (6X) or Gel Loading Dye, Purple (6X), no SDS compatible with other DNA binding dyes such as SYBR® and GelRed™ during gel electrophoresis?
  10. Which NEB restriction enzymes are supplied with Gel Loading Dye, Purple (6X)?
  11. Is this enzyme sensitive to dam, dcm or mammalian CpG methylation?
  12. Can you tell me more about the switch from BSA to Recombinant Albumin (rAlbumin) in NEBuffers?
