Method from primary and secondary reagents

  1. Scrape a colony with a sterile pipette tip and resuspend in 50ul of milliQ water.
  2. Take 3ul of resuspension and make an index plate.
  3. Take 30ul aliquot and boil at 95degrees C for 10 minutes
  4. Use 10ul of resultant supernatant as template in PCR reaction:
    1. 10ul supernatant
    2. 1ul forward primer
    3. 1ul reverse primer
    4. 12 ul GoTaq
  5. Use a PCR machine with the following cycles:
