4. asecond choice The enzyme digestion method of Kit Il in which a unique solution is used to release the plasmid DNA from host bactena cells without affecting following reactions of restriction enzymes So one can perform a regular restriction enzyme analysis in a single tube by directly using bacteria without preparing plasmid DNA With the combination of these two methods found in Kit Ill one can use the first method to perform quick and large scale screening in the expressway and use the second method to confirm the recombinants Features e Rapid and efficient identification of recombinant colonies within 1 hour e Large scale screening up to hundreds of colonies in short time e Quick check of insert sizes in constructed cDNA libraries e Restriction enzyme analyzing of recombinants directly from bacteria without preparation of plasmid DNA e Compatible with most commonly used E coli bacteria from plate colonies liquid culture or glycerol stock e Replacing time consuming DNA miniprep and restriction enzyme digestions or colony PCR Kit contents and storage There are three types of kit Check which kit you have Kit Cat K5011200 200 reactions Previous Cat 035301 Shipment condition Room Temperature Red solution Room temperature Yellow solution Room temperature Supercoiled DNA marker size 3 0 3 9 5 4 7 0 10 2ug Room temperature kb Screening plates Room temperature Kit Il Cat K5012100 100 reactions Previous Cat 035
