Control restriction digest of PS+B0015 in pSB1AK3 sample Q, miniprep

Date: 09/14
Done by: LC
Methods: Restriction digest
Protocols: RD1.1[1]
Notes:
The afore mentioned miniprep of PS+B0015 in pSB1AK3 (Q) was cut with EcoRI and PstI to check if biobrick pre- and suffix are present and the insert is the right size.
Mix for 1 RD reaction:
12 ul H2O
1 ul PstI
1 ul EcoRI
2 ul Fast digest green buffer
5 ul PCR product

Uncut PCR product was loaded on the gel as a control.

Results: The RD resulted in three bands, uncut plasmid, plasmid and insert. All of those were the expected lengths, so the sample should be OK.
