# Quickly vortex all ingredients (Buffer, BSA, DNA) before beginning.
# Add the following in a micro-centrifuge tube  
# Add the following in a micro-centrifuge tube:
##5μl of Buffer
##5μl of Buffer (usually NEBuffer 2)
##1μl of BSA  
##1μl of BSA  
##40μl of DNA solution (Dilute PCR products 1:4)
##0.5 picomoles DNA
# Vortex Enzymes and add 20 units (1μl) of each to the tube
##Water to make 48μl
# Incubate reaction in a 37°C water bath for at least one hour (I like 1:45).
# Vortex Enzymes and add 1μl (20 units) of each to the tube.
# Heat kill the digest for 15 minutes at 75°C.
# Incubate reaction in a 37°C water bath for at least one hour.
# Heat kill the digest for 20 minutes at 80°C.
# If digesting a vector add 10 units (1µl) phosphatase) and 5µl Phosphatase Buffer and incubate an additional 45 minutes at then heat kill againat 75°C for 15 min.
# If digesting a vector add 10 units (1µl) phosphatase) and 5µl Phosphatase Buffer and incubate an additional 45 minutes at then heat kill againat 75°C for 15 min.
# Store digested DNA in the freezer (-20°C).
