We love weekends!! Except when we come in to work...

Today, I did a PCR purification of the CpxP promoter that was PCR-ed out of the E. coli genome using the Qiagen kit that we have. 100 µL of each PCR tube was purified. Emily and I took a look at the vacuum PCR purification that Henry provided but were unsure of the protocol to use. One modification to the protocol that was used was the addition of 15 minutes waiting time in between the washing and the eluting step of the protocol. This was suggested by another lab as a method to increase DNA concentration in the final product. Another modification to the procedure was that the elution was done in 35 µL of water instead of the PB Buffer.
