**MBI Fermentas Endonuclease**
When it comes to cloning, time is of the essence. You're trying to cut out your insert from a vector using two different enzymes, but checking the old enzyme chart on the fridge, you realize they don’t work in the same buffer. Oh no—now you have to plan for back-to-back digestions, adding an extra hour to your schedule. What if you could simplify this process?
That’s where **FastDigest Restriction Enzymes** from Thermo Scientific come in. These enzymes are designed to work in a single universal buffer, compatible with all 176 FastDigest enzymes. This means you can perform double digests without the hassle of multiple buffers or extended incubation times.
Here's what makes FastDigest stand out:
- **100% activity** in a universal buffer that also works with modifying enzymes.
- **Complete digestion** in just 5–15 minutes.
- **No star activity** due to short incubation times and optimal enzyme concentrations.
- **FastDigest Green Buffer** allows direct loading onto gels, eliminating the need for extra loading dye.
- Tested protocols for plasmid DNA, PCR products, and genomic DNA.
Say goodbye to stress over double digests and hello to more time for other experiments.

**Blue-White Screening**
A common technique used in molecular cloning, blue-white screening helps identify successful clones. It relies on the *lacZα* gene, which encodes part of β-galactosidase. When the vector lacks an insert, the enzyme remains functional, and colonies turn blue when grown on X-gal plates. If an insert disrupts the *lacZα* sequence, the colonies remain white.
For even better results, consider using **positive selection vectors**, which contain a lethal gene (like a restriction enzyme) that is only inactivated when an insert is present. This ensures only recombinant clones survive, saving time and resources.

**Restriction Digest & Verification**
To confirm the presence and size of your insert, perform a restriction digest. Isolate plasmid DNA using a kit like the GeneJET Plasmid Miniprep Kit, then run the digested DNA on an agarose gel. Compare the band sizes to expected values.
Alternatively, use **colony PCR** to screen bacterial colonies. Use a combination of vector-specific and insert-specific primers to determine both the presence and orientation of the insert. This method works best for inserts under 3 kb.
For the most accurate verification, **sequencing** is the gold standard. Extract plasmid DNA, and use Sanger sequencing with vector-based primers to confirm the entire insert sequence.
