About this manual

The QuikChange Site-Directed Mutagenesis Kit allows researchers to introduce specific point mutations, amino acid switches, or insertions/deletions into virtually any double-stranded plasmid. The system utilizes PfuTurbo DNA polymerase and a temperature cycler to generate mutants with greater than 80% efficiency without requiring specialized vectors or subcloning steps.
