The protocols we used


BioBrick digestion with restriction enzymes

(estimated time: 3 hours)

Materials needed:

  • Roche restriction enzymes thawed on ice
  • Roche buffer H
  • Pre-warmed at 37°C bath
  • Cut and gel-extracted vector
  • ddH2O


  • To open vectors:
    • a volume containing 1 µg of purified plasmid
    • 2 µl of buffer H
    • 1 µl of first enzyme
    • 1 µl of second enzyme
    • 20 µl final volume
    • incubate at 37°C for 3 hours
  • To excide fragments:
    • 20 µl of purified plasmid when <7 µg have been extracted. A volume containing 7 µg otherwise.
    • 2.5 µl of buffer H
    • 1 µl of first enzyme
    • 1 µl of second enzyme
    • 25 µl final volume
    • incubate at 37°C for 2 hours and 30 minutes
