Reactions were incubated at 37°C for three hours while two medium-size agarose gels were prepared according to protocols.
In the afternoon gel electrophoresis was performed.

As shown, in figure all clones were positive (apart from <partinfo>BBa_I13501</partinfo> run where we inexplicably didn't see any band), so we cut and purified the bands of interest. Cells harbouring <partinfo>BBa_I13501</partinfo> were again inoculated in 5 ml LB + Amp.
After gel extraction, cut DNA was quantified:
