  • Calibrated Nanodrop.
  • Nanodropped all of our samples. Very low concentration of DNA.
  • Ordered primers to PCR our g-blocks.

5/22/14

  • Struck out plates with pACYC184 with spectinomycin to grow it.
  • Digested pBR322 with HindIII.
  • Double digested pBR322 with HindIII/EcoRI.

5/23/14

  • Ran gel of digests from 5/22/14. Everything as it should be.
  • Purified the digested plasmids.
  • Nanodropped plasmids; results:
    Single digest I: 52.7ng/μL
    Single digest II: 64.5ng/μL
    Double digest I: 26.3ng/μL
    Double digest II: 41.9ng/μL
  • Phosphatase treated the four digested plasmids.

5/27/14

  • Purified phosphatase treated plasmids from 5/23/14.
  • Nanodropped the purified plasmids; results:
    Single digest I: 43.4ng/μL
    Single digest II: 53.6ng/μL
    Double digest I: 43.7ng/μL
    Double digest II: 16.5ng/μL
