FastDigest Buffer (10X)

The FastDigest Buffers can be stored at 4 degrees C for at least 6 months. For long-term storage until their expiration, we recommend storing the FastDigest and FastDigest Green Buffers at -20 degrees C.

The concentration of FastDigest enzymes is proprietary information. The FastDigest enzyme activity is measured by FastDigest unit (FDU): 1 µL of enzyme (1 FDU) cleaves 1 µg of DNA substrate in 5-15 min at 37 degrees C in 20 µL of 1X FastDigest buffer.

Yes, the FastDigest Buffer (Cat. No. B64) and the FastDigest Green Buffer (Cat. No. B71) can be purchased separately.

The FastDigest Green Buffer offers the same performance as the colorless FastDigest Buffer but enables direct loading of the reaction mixture on gels. The 10X FastDigest Green Buffer includes a density reagent and two tracking dyes for direct loading. The blue dye migrates with 3-5 kb DNA fragments in a 1% agarose gel and has an excitation peak of 424 nm. The yellow dye migrates faster than 10 bp DNA fragments in a 1% agarose gel and has an excitation peak of 615 nm.
