• It is possible to send either a stab or glycerol culture with the selected E.coli clone, the purified plasmid DNA or your unpurified or purified PCR product
• Please use 1.5 ml tubes (no additional sealing with Para film) or 96well microtiter plates for your samples and primers
• For samples in tubes we recommend to dissolve the DNA either in doubled distilled water or in 5 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0 – 9.0) without using Parafilm
• Plates may contain a mixture of plasmids and PCR products as long as no purification is needed
• For optimal results the concentration/amount should be normalised across the plate
• Primers may be arrayed in a separate primer plate according to the sample layout
• Plate position H12 should be kept free for internal quality control (optional)

Concentrations:

• Purified plasmid DNA:
  50-100 ng/µl in a minimum volume of 15 µl

  < 300 bp:            2 ng/µl in a minimum volume of 15 µl
  300-1000bp:      5 ng/µl in a minimum volume of 15 µl
  > 1000 bp:        10 ng/µl in a minimum volume of 15 µl
  The amount should be doubled for unpurified products
