NEB vs Fermentas
I attended a vendor show and met a NEB sales rep for the first time. Yes, the first time. Ever. Apparently, Fermentas has rattled the sleeping giant and they have hit the road to counter Fermentas and their new “FastDigest” enzymes. NEB is now offering their own “Time-Saver Qualified Enzymes”!
Sounds good. What’s the improvement. There isn’t one. Add one microiter of a restriction enzyme and almost any enzme cuts to completion in about 5 minutes.
It is hard to believe that the perceived “threat” from Fermentas was enought to force NEB to rename their enzymes and send a sales rep on the road!

Another Fermentas “trick” is one buffer. No problems with ddigest.
