Plasmid resuspension from iGEM kit plates

• Check on the http://partsregistry.org web site the kit plate and the exact coordinate of the desired plasmid.
• Take the kit plates, stored in the -20degC freezer. They contain dry DNA with a red dye.
• Take 15 ul of Milli-Q water (from the filter of the Millipore machine) with a P20 pipetman.
• Make a hole in the foil covering the well by using the tip and resuspend the dry DNA several times. The DNA solution should become red.
• Transfer the DNA into a 0.5-ml tube and transform 2-5 ul into competent cells.
• Store the remaining DNA at -20degC.
