Overview

The In-Fusion HD Cloning Plus kit enables high-efficiency, high-fidelity directional cloning of one or more PCR fragments into any vector. In addition to the cloning kit, this package includes: a NucleoSpin Gel and PCR Clean-Up Kit, which can be used for spin-column purification of PCR products; Stellar Competent Cells, an E. coli HST08 strain that provides high transformation efficiency paired with blue-white screening capability when used with pUC plasmid vectors; and CloneAmp HiFi PCR Premix, a convenient high-fidelity PCR 2X master mix that provides exceptionally accurate and efficient DNA amplification.

  • Subcloning is unnecessary: Clone any insert, into any locus, in any vector, with just one reaction
  • Highly efficient: Over 95% efficiency demonstrated with a broad range of fragment sizes, from 0.5 kb to 15 kb
  • Seamless construction: Final constructs have no extra base pairs left over (as is often the case with restriction digest or TA cloning)
  • Flexibility to clone single or multiple fragments: Clone single or multiple DNA fragments simultaneously, in a single reaction
  • Can be used to perform site-directed mutagenesis: Click here to learn how

In-Fusion HD Cloning Plus system components

All In-Fusion HD Cloning products contain the In-Fusion HD Enzyme Premix and reagents for control experiments. In-Fusion HD Cloning Plus also includes:

  • In-Fusion HD Enzyme Premix

    In-Fusion HD enzyme mix fuses DNA fragments efficiently and precisely by recognizing a 15-bp overlap at their ends—without the use of ligase. Provided in a liquid format as a 5X enzyme premix in 20-μl or 100-μl aliquots, depending on kit size. Note: the EcoDry kit format includes lyophilized cloning enzyme, prealiquoted in 8-well tube strips or 96-well plates, depending on kit size.

  • CloneAmp HiFi PCR Premix

    CloneAmp HiFi PCR Premix is a convenient 2X liquid master mix that offers exceptionally accurate, efficient, and fast DNA amplification. The premix contains dNTPs and an optimized buffer, allows rapid set-up of PCR reactions, and facilitates successful cloning. The polymerase master mix is provided in 625-μl aliquots in both EcoDry and liquid kits.

  • Stellar Competent Cells

    High-efficiency competent cells are essential to the success of In-Fusion Cloning. An E. coli HST08 strain is included that provides high transformation efficiency (greater than 5 x 108 cfu/µg) and complements the efficiency of all In-Fusion HD Cloning Plus kits. Cells are provided in 100-μl aliquots in individual tubes. The 96-rxn kit includes the cells prealiquoted in 96-well plates (20 μl in each well).

  • Cloning Enhancer or NucleoSpin Gel and PCR Clean-up kit

    Cloning Enhancer (CE) is an easy-to-use enzyme premix that removes background plasmid DNA and PCR residue, eliminating the need for PCR purification prior to cloning. In-Fusion HD Cloning Plus CE kits are ideal for cloning when there is a single PCR product on the gel, and can be used as part of a streamlined workflow for high-throughput systems. Cloning Enhancer is provided in 50-μl aliquots. Alternatively, NucleoSpin Gel and PCR Clean-up is suitable for gel extraction as well as PCR purification . Provided as individual columns or 96-well plate purifications, depending on kit size.

The In-Fusion HD Cloning System has been optimized for cloning large fragments

The In-Fusion HD Cloning System has been optimized for cloning large fragments

The In-Fusion HD Cloning System has been optimized for cloning large fragments. Ten out of ten colonies contain the correct insert (100 efficiency) when cloning fragments as large as 15 kb (results confirmed by colony PCR screening).

The In-Fusion HD Cloning System has an improved capability for cloning multiple fragments in a single reaction

The In-Fusion HD Cloning System has an improved capability for cloning multiple fragments in a single reaction

The In-Fusion HD Cloning System has an improved capability for cloning multiple fragments in a single reaction. Using this system, cloning up to four 1-kb fragments simultaneously is as easy as cloning a single fragment. This saves weeks that would otherwise be spent screening clones and subcloning.
