Digestion

Materials

You will need:

  • Sterilized milliQ water
  • BSA
  • NEB buffers 1,2,3,and/or 4 (see extra notes)
  • Miniprepped sample or plasmid you wish to cut
  • NEB digestion enzymes (EcoRI, SpeI, PstI, NheI, and/or XbaI)

Procedure

1. Add the following into a PCR tube
  • 22μL of milliQ water
  • 1μL BSA
  • 5μL buffer x (see extra notes)
  • 20μL template to be cut
  • 1μL digestion enzyme 1
  • 1μL digestion enzyme 2

2. Run in a machine

  • 37°C for 3 hours
  • 80°C for 20 minutes
  • Keep at 4°C if to be stored

Purpose

To cut DNA at the designated places.
