● Run two samples from the PCR reaction, one with 5ul pcr and loading buffer with sybr gold, and the other with the rest of the pcr (45ul) and loading buffer without sybr gold. ● Load the two samples in side by side lanes ● Use the sybr gold in uv light to find the band to cut out of the gel in the next lane over. ● Centrifuge gel cut out with gel filter to separate. Collect filtrate. ● Use Zymo research DNA Clean and Concentrate to recover DNA from filtrate
