Plasmid resuspension from IGEM paper spots

(estimated time: 25 min for every part if you use scalpel/tweezers; 35 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)
  • diH20
  • 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 provided instructions); if you use scalpel and tweezers, try to cut pieces of about the same dimension of the punch tool.
  • Clean scalpel and tweezers (or punch tool) with water and ethanol every time you cut a spot.
  • Put the cut paper into the 0.5 ml tube.
  • Incubate at 42°C for 20 min; then vortex and spin down.
