Enzymes | Buffer | Temperature | Purpose |
EcoRI, XbaI | Low | 37°C | To create a "Front Vector" |
EcoRI, SpeI | Low | 37°C | To create a "Front Insert" |
SpeI, PstI | Medium | 37°C | To create a "Back Vector" |
XbaI, PstI | Low | 37°C | To create a "Back Insert" |
EcoRI, PstI | Promega® Buffer H | 37°C | To excise entire insert or validate part size/ restriction sites |
XbaI, SpeI | Low | 37 º C | To excise entire insert, validate part size/ restriction sites, or clone a PCR with inverted sites |
