Aim: Extracting DNA from the colony obtained after transformation.
Protocol: follow in this link

Materials :
• Miniprep QIAGEN Kit
• TOPO cloning colony
• Buffer EB
• Spectrophotometer

Method
1. For the Miniprep prepare 6x 2 ml of cultures and recover it in 50 μl of buffer EB
2. Do the prep with the QIAGEN Miniprep Kit
3. Measure the absorbance of the products to determine the amount of DNA obtained after extraction

Results :
