We planned to mini prep our cell samples but Matt said that the IDT samples had not grown enough so we incubated them for another day. We then designed primers for PCR primer. In the afternoon we mini-prepped the DNA2.0 using a ThermoFischer Purelink Quick Plasmid Miniprep kit.

This morning we mini-pepped our cells after they had been left to grow for a further 24 hours. This was so we could send our constructs to iGEM headquarters and get them sequenced. Again we used the a ThermoFischer Purelink Quick Plasmid Miniprep kit. We did have 9 samples (using 50 uL plate samples) but after a slight mishap, we were left with 8 samples.
