**Optimal Buffer from Fermentas<br><br>

Use pUC19 plasmid as test, it has cut sites for EcoRI, PstI, XbaI (unsure about BcuI/SpeI, DpnI but will try anyways), and none for EcoRV <br>

</table><br>
 
-
To each tube, add <b>19.75&micro;L</b> of master mix and <b>0.25&micro;L</b> of enzyme<br>
 
-
Incubated reaction mixes at 37<sup>o</sup>C (Start:7:00pm; End:7:45pm)<br>
 
-
Add 3.3&micro;L of 6x loading dye to each reaction mixture and load 10&micro;L final volume onto a 1% agarose (in TAE) gel.<br>
 
-
Add 1&micro;L of 6x loading dye to 1&micro;L of GeneRuler 1kb ladder (at 0.5&micro;g/&micro;L)<br>
 
-
Gel loading order as follows:<br>
