Protocols

Molecular Biology

Products and stock preparation

• Primer preparation: initial dilution of ordered primers.
• Competent Cells: prepare cells for plasmid uptake.
• Competent Cells. Protocol II (Inoue method).

Cloning, assembly, and mutations

• Transformation: introduce foreign plasmid into competent cells.
• Gibson assembly.
• Linear template- TetR.
• tetR mutation PCR: induce specific mutations on tetR linear template.
• Agarose gel electrophoresis: DNA samples analysis (can be followed by band purification).

DNA recovery

• Plasmid preparation - Miniprep: recover plasmids from a bacterial culture.
• Gel purification: recover DNA separated by electrophoresis

Microfluidics

• PDMS two layer device fabrication
• MITOMI: Protein – DNA interactions
• Chemostat cell culture
• Klenow dsDNA synthesis
