Concentration
1 FDU/µl.

Recommended buffer	Reaction conditions
	Temperature	Time
1X FastDigest® buffer	37°C	5 min

Thermal Inactivation
FastDigest® BbsI (BpiI) is inactivated by incubation at 65°C for 10 min.

Digestion of Plasmid DNA
1 µl of FastDigest® BbsI (BpiI) digests up to 1 µg of plasmid DNA in 5 min, see Protocol for Fast Digestion and Analysis of Plasmid DNA with FastDigest® Enzymes and Protocol for Fast Vector Preparation with FastDigest® Enzymes.

Digestion of PCR Products
1 µl of FastDigest® BbsI (BpiI) digests ~0.2 µg of PCR product in 5 min, see Protocol for Fast Digestion of PCR Products with FastDigest® Enzymes.

Digestion of Genomic DNA
1 µl of FastDigest® BbsI (BpiI) digests 1 µg of genomic DNA in 5 min, or 5 µg of genomic DNA in 30 min, see Protocol for Fast Digestion of Genomic DNA with FastDigest® Enzymes.

Ligation and Recleavage
After overdigestion with 1 µl of FastDigest® BbsI (BpiI) for 1 hour, more than 95% of the digested DNA fragments can be ligated and recut.
