First make sure that there is a PCR machine available for you.

Take the solutions from the freezer and thaw on ice.

Preparation of reaction mixture:
+
-
 
+
-
1. Gently vortex and briefly centrifuge all solutions after thawing
+
-
 
+
-
2. Keep solutions on ice
+
-
 
+
-
3. Make a pre-mix for the amount of colonies (to be analyzed) + 1, add to an Eppendorf tube:

5. Prick a sterile toothpick into a colony, dip it into a PCR tube, put it into a 15 mL culture tube containing 5 mL LB medium + antibiotics and then grow overnight for mini-prep cultures and -80 °C stocks. Repeat this for all the colonies. Incubate the mini-prep cultures at 37 °C.
