Of the 11 plates with colonies grown 7 were used for colony PCR and Streak plating. Colony PCR is less accurate than the mini prep however results can be seen quicker whereas the miniprep has a 1 day wait. The colonies selected selected were satellite colonies because ampicillin degraded'''???'''

* 32.75 microlitre deionised H20

'''Note''' There are 2 possible reasons for red colonies formed:

# Partial digest- rejoins without insert

-
# with insert

We need to tell the difference between the two.
