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)
Extra Notes
Be sure to use the buffer that maximizes the compatibility of the enzyme activity between the two enzymes.

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; cut out the insert from the plasmid.
