The cloning process requires the ligation of linear DNA into a cloning vector. This ability to join fragments of DNA through recombinant technology is essential for many basic experiments in biotechnology.
Protein synthesis using cell-free protein synthesis reagent kit consists of three stages: preparation of transcription template, transcription and translation.
Blue/white color selection is a routine technique employed by molecular biologists. This technique simplifies the differentiation between colonies/plaques that contain a cloning vector without an insert and those that contain a vector harboring an insert of interest.
Our Universal Transfection Reagent is a unique formulation of a proprietary polymer blend used for transient and stable transfection of nucleic acids into various eukaryotic cell lines and hard-to-transfect primary cells. This is a fast and easy protocol is compatible
Blue White Screening; DNA Minipreps; Screening by Restriction Digestion; Screening by PCR; Confirm cut plasmid sizes by agarose gel electrophoresis; DNA Maxipreps; DNA Precipitation; RNase Treatment; Clean-up of DNA
T4 DNA Ligase catalyzes the formation of a phosphodiester bond between the terminal 5′ phosphate and a 3′ hydroxyl groups of duplex DNA or RNA. The enzyme efficiently joins blunt and cohesive ends and repairs single-stranded nicks in duplex DNA
Cell preparation for transfection Plate cells approx. 24 hours before transfection making sure cells are at optimal concentration (70 – 90 % confluency).
BL21(DE3) Electrocompetent Cells are provided in 25 μL aliquots, sufficient for one reaction. Transformation is carried out in a 0.1 cm gap cuvette. Optimal settings for electroporation are listed in the table below. Note that alternate settings result in transformation
CIP is used to remove 5’-phosphate groups from DNA, RNA and both ribo and deoxy-ribonucleoside triphosphates. Detailed protocol on how to dephosphorylate DNA.
