Goal for this lab: Purify the amplified DNA from first lab, digest it with restriction enzymes, and assess the results with gel electrophoresis.

Zymo Research DNA Clean & Concentrator-5 Cat # T1225 K

$69 for kit of 50

Reagents Per Pair:

  • 125 µL Zymo-SpinTM DNA Binding Buffer
  • 500 µL Zymo-SpinTM Wash Buffer (GET MORE FOR 2015)
  • 1 mL Sterile ddH2O
  • 1 Zymo-Spin™ Column
  • 2 Capless collection tubes
  • 10 µL 20 mM Spermidine [Should this be 3 tubes of 1 uL??]

  • 1x TAE for 14 gels @ 300 mL/gel = 4200 mL (make at least 5 L)

  • 1 2% gel per pair plus 2
