-  <a name="restriction enzyme2">restriction enzyme2 
 <tab>(20 units/µl)</a>
- 10X restriction buffer
- 10X BSA
- PCR product DNA

 <tab>(BBa_V0002 or BBa_V0100)</a>
-  <a name="CIP">CIP 
 <tab>(10 units/µl)</a>
Parameters:
- V - Volume of PCR product DNA obtained (µl).
- C - Concentration of BioBrick vector (µg/µl).
Equipment:
- Incubator
- Reaction tubes
Steps:
- Digestion of PCR product
 Use the following table as a checklist for preparing the reaction in reaction tube (1):
 <thead></thead><tbody></body>
 Note: keep the glycerol concentration below 5%, the volume of both restriction enzymes added should not exceed 5% of the total reaction volume.PCR product DNA 10X BSA 10X restriction buffer restriction enzyme1 restriction enzyme2 distilled H2O Restriction Digest - PCR product V 3.5 µl 3.5 µl 0.2 µl 0.2 µl Make up the volume to 35 µl 
- Incubate at 37°C for at least 1 hr.
 Incubation overnight is better.
- Purify digested insert using PCR product purification kit.
- Digestion of BioBrick vector: Recommended procedure
 Use the following table as a checklist for preparing the reaction in reaction tube (2):

- Incubate at 37°C for 12 hrs(overnight).
- Measure out 0.1 µl of <a href="#CIP" >CIP</a> into reaction tube (2).
 Incubate at 37°C for 1 hr.
TOTAL TIME REQUIRED FOR THE COMPLETION OF THE PROTOCOL :~ 14 hrs, 0 mins
