Digestion

 5.0 μL 10X Buffer EcoRI
 0.5 μL 100X BSA
30.0 μL PCR Product / 1 μg Vector (1X and 5X)
 1.0 μL EcoRI
 1.0 μL XhoI
12.5 μL dH2O / to 50 μL
  • Run at 37°C for 1 hr.

Gel Purification

  • Ran on 1% agarose at 110V for 25 min.
  • Strong bands seen & removed for each digestion.
  • Purified with qiagen kit.
    • Concentration determined by running 1μL against a ladder.
      • No DNA visible for insert -> undetectable concentration
