CloningBench – lab tools

The CloningBench mobile app is designed to provide you with useful and essential tools to help guide your cloning experiments. The app is also available for iPad.

CloningBench features:

The Invitrogen Anza™ restriction enzymes cloning system: the new and innovative cloning method that offers one buffer and one digestion protocol for all DNA types. Anza™ restriction enzymes offer complete digestion in 15 minutes and the option of overnight digestion with no star activity. Use the CloningBench app to easily find the right enzyme with a single search by name, sequence or Anza™ enzyme number and use the datasheets for reference

Anza™ modifying enzymes: Find enzymes for ligation, DNA repair, phosphorylation etc. that are all compatible in the single, proprietary Anza™ buffer

Competent Cell Selection Guide - Quickly find the right competent cell for your cloning application and order easily. Search for chemically competent or electrocompetent cells, desired transformation efficiency, specialized application or packaging format that suits your needs.

Nucleic acid concentration calculator
Calculate the concentration of Nucleic Acids according to their optical density.

PCR MasterMix Calculator
Calculate quantities of components for your PCR MasterMix

Vector to Insert Molar Ratios Calculator
Calculate the quantity of insert required for a 1:1 molar ratio

Molar Quantities Calculator
Convert molar concentration into molar quantities and vice versa.

Bacterial Growth Timer
Determine the time it takes for a bacterial culture to reach a desired optical density.

Gene Size Estimator
Estimate the size of a gene from a known protein size and vice versa.

Universal Buffer Restriction Enzyme Finder – This tool lets you find restriction enzymes that use the previous universal buffer system from Invitrogen. Search by cut-site, name or buffer type, obtain technical data that you can share easily with others and order directly from your mobile device

Double Digest Finder - Find the correct buffer and concentration when digesting DNA with two restriction enzymes that use the previous universal buffer system
