Description
Enzyme-based fragmentation of DNA is very simple and effective comparing to the mechanical DNA shearing methods. There are several advantages of enzymatic DNA fragmentation, include easy handling of many samples at the same time, and less loss of samples. Moreover, it does not require expensive capital expense for the equipment.
DNA Fragmentation Enzyme Workflow
The resulting DNA fragment size is inversely correlated with the incubation time of step 1 at 20°C. The fragmented DNA can be used for applications such as Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS). Our Fragmentation Enzyme does not generate detectable sequencing bias. Sequence coverage is also consistent between enzymatic and mechanical fragmentation.

DNA Fragmentation Enzyme Mix (Cat. # 40061)
The enzyme mix was developed for enzymatic fragmentation of genomic DNA with random ends in a single step. The fragmented DNA can be used for applications such as Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS).
Features
- Fast enzymatic fragmentation: 30-45 minutes
- Simple Procedure: 3 minutes of hands-on time
- Works with both EDTA-free DNA and DNA resuspended in TE buffer
- Ideal for downstream reactions: NGS library prep, PCR cloning, TA-ligation, and blunt end ligation etc.
