Restriction Digest

Materials

• ddH₂0
• DNA sample on ice
• Appropriate 10X buffer on ice
• 10X BSA on ice
• Restriction enzyme(s) (see below) on ice
• CIP (keep in freezer until needed)

Recipe

• 12-20 μL DNA depending on concentration
• 4.3 μL appropriate 10X buffer
• 4.0 μL 10X BSA
• Restriction enzyme(s) (see specific enzymes below for exact amounts)
  • Don't immerse the tip, draw from the surface to avoid excess enzyme
• Add ddH₂0 to bring the final volume to 40 μL

Procedure

• Combine ingredients for recipe
• Incubate at 37°C for 2.5 to 8 hours
• If preparing a ligation, add 0.5 μL CIP to the vector 30 minutes prior to ending the reaction
• When the reaction is complete you can store your samples in the -20°C freezer
