Protocol

  1. Pick a colony and suspend in 200 μl LB (or other appropriate media).
  2. Vortex ~8 sec.
  3. Heat at 97C for 10 min.
  4. Vortex again briefly.
  5. Use 1 μl in PCR reaction.

PCR reaction

  • Combine:
  • 1 μl colony sample (above)
  • 0.5 μl 10mM forward primer
  • 0.5 μl 10mM reverse primer
  • 3 μl nanopure water
  • 5 μl Taq (we used EconoTaq Green Taq)
  • Run for 30 cycles of denaturing, annealing, extension
  • Initial denature @ 94C for 2 min.
  • Denature @ 94C for 30 sec.
  • Anneal @ 62C for 30 sec.
  • Extend @ 72C for 90 sec.
  • Final extension @ 72C for 10 min.
  • Hold @ 4C inifinitly.

Run PCR products on a gel to verify desired DNAs.
