The protocols we used


Plasmid resuspension from IGEM paper spots

(estimated time: 25 min + 5 min for every part if you use scalpel/tweezers or + 15 min for every part if you use punch tool)

Materials needed:

  • Pre-warmed at 42°C TE
  • Desired spot location information
  • Scalpel and tweezers (or punch tool)
  • ddH20
  • 99% ethanol
  • 0.5 ml tubes


  • Put 10 µl of pre-warmed TE into a 0.5 ml tube.
  • Cut paper spots using scalpel and tweezers (or punch tool, following the instructions provided with the IGEM kit); if you use scalpel and tweezers, try to cut pieces of about the same dimension of the punch tool.
  • Put the cut paper into the 0.5 ml tube.
  • Clean scalpel and tweezers (or punch tool) with water and ethanol every time you cut a spot; be careful to dry your tools correctly, especially if you use punch tool, which needs much more time to dry than scalpel/tweezers.
  • Incubate at 42°C for 20 min.
  • Vortex and spin down.
