Instead of plasmid or genomic DNA, you can use a colony from the agar plate as template DNA. You should use a sterile toothpick, pick into the colony and spread it in the PCR tube.
For a 10 µl reaction (Taq Polymerase Peqlab):
- 1 µl Buffer S
- 0,2 µl dNTP's (10 mM)
- 0,2 µl Primer fw
- 0,2 µl Primer rev
- 0,04 µl Taq Polymerase
- 8,36 µl Water
PCR Program
- 95°C 5 min
35 times the following cycle
- 95°C 1 min
- 55°C 30 sek. (°C depends on your primers)
- 72°C 1 min/kb
cycle end
- 72°C 10 min
