Gel Extraction

DNA excision: lane 2 and 3: 8000 bp band;

DNA purification: with QIAquick Gel Extraction Kit according to Qiagen manual (incl. isopropanol step)(done by Tobias)

Result: size estimation by eye;

lanes 2+3: plasmid was digested, small band has the expected size, two upper bands with unexpected size;

lanes 5: plasmid was undigested; 7500 bp unexpected; 3000 bp band might be undigested supercoiled plasmid

Conclusions:

  • exact vector fragment unknown, therefore 8000 bp band was
  • because of unexpected sizes marker should be compared with another marker, plasmids should be digested to yield several fragments for size control, maybe heat inactivation might help to resolve higher bands

Output: one plasmid fragments with 8000 bp in 1,5 ml eppis,

stored at -20 °C, box with fragments
