Product Class: Restriction Endonuclease

BfaI
neb31 cloned at NEB recombinant dil_B 37 80 Heat

BfaI has been reformulated with Recombinant Albumin (rAlbumin) beginning with Lot #10155313. 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.

FAQs & Troubleshooting

FAQs

  1. Does BfaI work well on PCR products?
  2. Does BfaI replace an enzyme previously sold?
  3. What is the activity of BfaI at 25°C?
  4. 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?
  5. Are the DNA fragments produced by Vent DNA Polymerase blunt-ended or do they have the single-base 3' overhang that Taq DNA Polymerase yields?
  6. Is this enzyme sensitive to dam, dcm or mammalian CpG methylation?
  7. Can you tell me more about the switch from BSA to Recombinant Albumin (rAlbumin) in NEBuffers?
