Ligation
Bacterial transformation
- Remove cells from -80°C freezer and thaw in hand
- Add 1-5 μl containing 1 pg-100 ng of plasmid DNA to the cell mixture. Carefully flick the tube 4-5 times to mix cells and DNA. Do not vortex
- Place the mixture on ice for 2 minutes. Do not mix
- Heat shock at exactly 42°C for exactly 30 seconds. Do not mix.
- Place on ice for 2 minutes. Do not mix.
- Pipette 250 μl of room temperature SOC into the mixture. Immediately spread 50-100 μl onto a selection plate and incubate overnight at 37-42°C. NOTE: Selection using antibiotics other than ampicillin may require some outgrowth before plating on selective media. Colonies develop faster at temperatures above 37°C, however some constructs may be unstable at elevated temperatures.
Colony PCR
Conditions:
Gel Recycling
- Run electrophoresis separation of the target DNA fragment

- Centrifuge the empty HiBind DNA Mini Column 1 2000rmp for 2 minutes
- The Hibind DNA Mini Column was transferred to 1.5m| plastic centrifuge tube
- Add 15-30ul Elution Buffer to the center of the membrane
- Let sit at room temperature for 2 minutes
- Centrifugation for 12000rmp at room temperature for 1 minute
plasmid extraction from positive clones using an extraction kit
- Decant or aspirate and discard the culture media.Centrifuge at 10,000x g for 1 minute at room temperature
- Add 250 uL Solution I/RNase A. Vortex or pipet up and down to mix thoroughly.Complete resuspension of cell pellet is vital for obtaining good yields.
- Transfer suspension into a new 15 mL microcentrifuge tube.
- Add250 uL Solution IL Invert and gently rotate the tube several times to obtain a dear lysate. A 2-3minute incubation may be necessary.
- Add 350uL Solution I Immediately invert several times until a flocculent white precipitate form.
- Centrifuge at maximum speed (213,000 x g) for 10 minutes. A compact white pellet will form. Promptly proceed to the next step.
- Insert a HiBinde DNA Mini Column into a 2 mL Collection Tube.
- Transfer the cleared supernatant from Step 8 by CAREFULLY aspirating it into the HiBind* DNA Mini Column. Be careful not to disturb the pellet and that no cellular debris is transferred to the HiBind" DNA Mini Column.
- Centrifuge at maximum speed for 1 minute.
- Discard the filtrate and reuse the collection tube.
- Add 500 uL HBC Buffer
- centrifuge at maximum speed for 1 minute.
- Discard the filtrate and reuse collection tube.
- Add 700uL DNA Wash buffer.
- Centrifuge at maximum speed for 1 minute.
- Discard the filtrate and reuse the collection tube.
- Centrifuge the empty HiBind" DNA Mini Column for 2 minutes at maximum speed to dry the column matrix.
- Transfer the HiBind DNA Mini Column to a clean 1.5 mL microcentrifuge tube.
- Add 30100 uL Elution Buffer or sterile deionized water directly to the center of the column membrane.
- Let sit at room temperature for 1 minute.
- Centrifuge at maximum speed for 1 minute. Note: This represents approximately 70% of bound DNA. An optional second elution will yield any residual DNA, though at a lower concentration
- Store DNA at -20degrees.
