Replicating Genetic Cloning to Produce Red Fluorescent Protein Introduction: Genetic engineering has been used by scientists to create proteins in different amounts to adapt bacteria and now students will have the chance to learn and replicate different procedures (Amgen Biotech Experience, 2015). One recent discovery was that because of genetic engineering you can release insulin at your own free will through your phone. This was tested on a diabetic mouse that had an implant that was shown with an LED light (Shao et al./Sci. Trans. Med. 2017). One of the most important tools used in this lab is a micropipette. A micropipette is a device used to transport different amounts of liquids into another compartment by means of dispensing it.†¦show more content†¦Add restriction buffer and the plasmids into two tubes labeled R+ and R-, restriction enzymes into R+, and distilled water into R-. One thing to note is to mix after you add anything to tubes and once it is finished let the two tubes spin in a microcentrifuge for about four seconds in order to fully mix it all. After this, place the two tubes in a rack and incubate them in a water bath that is 37 degrees Celsius for an hour and place them in a freezer that is -20 degrees Celsius. Lab 4A consists of using gel electrophoresis to further examine the pARA-R plasmid by viewing them in a DNA ladder. Start by adding loading dye into the two tubes and centrifuging them for a few seconds. Before putting them in the gel walls check to make sure it is in the negative side an d not the positive side. Add buffer to cover the walls and keep track of where you will add the R-, R+, and ladder. It is very important to use new, fresh tips and to add them very carefully. Once everything has been put in, cover the box and connect the cables to the power supply in the correct order: black to black for negative and red to red for positive. Turn the power on and put the voltage up to 130v-135v and let it set for 40 to 50 minutes. For the first two to three minutes check to see if it is moving towards the positive side and if it isn’t, inform the instructor. This lab ends with the instructor providing a picture of how far the plasmids went. Next for lab 5A is putting the plasmid into E.Show MoreRelatedBCH190 Essay14810 Words   |  60 Pagesand including Chapter 2 1.
