IDT gBlocks HiFi Gene Fragments

Jun 23, 2020

Integrated DNA Technologies has launched gBlocks HiFi Gene Fragments, double-stranded DNA fragments between 1,000 and 3,000 bp in length.

The fragments have an error rate of less than 1 in 12,000 bp and are verified with next-generation sequencing. Turnaround time is between six and 10 business days.

Applications include synthetic biology, pathway development, traditional cloning, and large construct assembly.
