Each component can be prepared in advance and stored in -80°C: this step might be even better than fresh preparation because of keeping same concentration.
*Take components out at room temperature from -40°C or -20°C (tRNA) 30min before weighting them in order to avoid condensation.
*Take spermidine out from 4°C and place it near heat block to slightly warm the vial (melting).
*Keep spatula clean all the time: rinse with water and isopropanol, then dry with air gun. 
**Good aliquot volume of each component is for 4-folds preparation.
*Weigh each component in a micro-centrifuge tube one by one and dissolve it under its own protocol below.
*Store all components in -80°C.
*Once a few tens of 3-PGA buffer tubes are left, prepare new 3-PGA buffer with components which are already prepared individually and stored in -80°C.
First, prepare homemade nucleotides:
*ATP + GTP + UTP + CTP, then add KOH.
*Each time, slowly mix components.
Add component in the order of the table above from top to bottom: mix HEPES and water, and then add nucleotides and tRNA and so on.
Whenever adding one component, vortex it to mix.

Each component can be prepared in advance and stored in -80°C: this step might be even better than fresh preparation because of keeping same concentration.

  • Take components out at room temperature from -40°C or -20°C (tRNA) 30min before weighting them in order to avoid condensation.
  • Take spermidine out from 4°C and place it near heat block to slightly warm the vial (melting).
  • Keep spatula clean all the time: rinse with water and isopropanol, then dry with air gun.
    • Good aliquot volume of each component is for 4-folds preparation.
  • Weigh each component in a micro-centrifuge tube one by one and dissolve it under its own protocol below.
  • Store all components in -80°C.
  • Once a few tens of 3-PGA buffer tubes are left, prepare new 3-PGA buffer with components which are already prepared individually and stored in -80°C.

First, prepare homemade nucleotides:

  • ATP + GTP + UTP + CTP, then add KOH.
  • Each time, slowly mix components.
