Excellent kit, extremely versatile and easy to use. 5 stars
Molecular Biology
This product is terrific to use, and with the NEBasechanger online resource for primer design it's a breeze. I've used this kit many times to insert, delete, and substitute nucleotides for my cloning experiments and it's a joy every time. If only all kits could be this user-friendly!

Definitely useful for working with medium to large plasmids.
Coning contructs for knockdown in mammalian cell
Q5 Site-Directed Mutagenesis Kit is efficient and reliable. I canuse it for plasmids that are too large to amplify well by other high fidelity polymerases.

Q5® Site-Directed Mutagenesis Kit enables rapid, site-specific mutagenesis of double-stranded plasmid DNA in less than 2 hours.
The kit utilizes the robust Q5 Hot Start High-Fidelity DNA Polymerase along with custom mutagenic primers to create insertions, deletions and substitutions in a wide variety of plasmids. After PCR, the amplified material is added directly to a unique Kinase-Ligase-DpnI (KLD) enzyme mix for rapid, room temperature circularization and template removal. Transformation into high-efficiency NEB 5-alpha Competent E. coli, provided with the kit, ensures robust results with plasmids up to at least 14 kb in length.
Q5® Site-Directed Mutagenesis Kit Features:
- Non-overlapping primer design ensures robust, exponential amplification, generating a high percentage of desired mutations from a wide range of templates
- Intramolecular ligation and transformation into NEB high-efficiency competent cells results in high colony yield
- Extremely low error rate of Q5 Hot Start High-Fidelity DNA Polymerase reduces screening time
- Hot start polymerase enables room temperature reaction set-up
- DpnI background reduction permits a wide range of starting template concentrations
- Use of standard primers eliminates additional expenses from phosphorylated or purified oligos
- Easy-to-use PCR master mix and unique multi-enzyme KLD mix offer convenience and quality
- Rapid and direct treatment step proceeds at room temperature in 5 minutes
Q5® Site-Directed Mutagenesis Kit Applications:
- Difficult PCR
- Fast PCR
- High-Throughput PCR
- High-Yield PCR
