Miniprep of overnight broth

• Following on from 06/09/13 result,overnight broth was prepared yesterday from the single colonies that had grown on each of the 2 plates shown on 06/09/13.
• The broth, which contains cells that have been transformed with pSB1C3/TOD genes, was minipreped using the Omega Bio-Tek kit.
• This would enable us to confirm which cells have the recircularised plasmid and those with the ligated product.

Measurement of DNA concentration

Double Digestion of pSB1C3/TOD genes

• The pSB1C3/TOD genes were double digested with (XbaI and SpeI) & (EcoRI and PstI)
• The master mix for the (XbaI and SpeI) was;

60ul of cut smart buffer 5ul of XbaI 10ul of SpeI 273ul of 5M Tris

• The master mix for the (EcoRI and PstI) was;

60ul of cut smart buffer 5ul of XbaI 5ul of SpeI 278ul of 5M Tris

All 36 tubes were incubated overnight in 37 degrees room.

• Tomorrow the plasmids that were isolated from the miniprep would be run on a 1% agarose gel to distinguish between cells that have the pSB1C3/TOD genes from those that have the recircularised pSB1C3 vector.
