Category: Cell Culture Protocols: Cell Storing and Cell Freezing Protocols

Protocol provides methods for cryofreezing and subsequent thawing of mammalian cells. Pre-confluent cells are trypsinized, pelleted, resuspended in freezing medium, and gradually frozen. When needed, frozen cells are thawed quickly under running tap water and transferred to growth medium. - [Read Cryopreservation of Mammalian Culture Cells: Preparation and Recovery of Samples Protocol]

Category: PCR Protocols: PCR Optimization

Method for amplifying DNA enzymatically by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), including procedures to quickly determine conditions for successful amplification of the sequence and primer sets of interest, and to optimize for specificity, sensitivity, and yield.  The first step of PCR simply entails mixing template DNA, two appropriate oligonucleotide primers, Taq or other thermostable DNA polymerases, deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates (dNTPs), and a buffer. - [Read Enzymatic Amplification of DNA by PCR: Standard Procedures and Optimization Protocol]

Category: Chromatography Protocols

FPLC Protocol. The FPLC consists of a pump and a column which will withstand high pressure so separations can be carried out relatively quickly. For a detailed description there is a FPLC system handbook which is particularly useful for trouble shooting. For use of individual columns follow the "instructions" (in the green folder) which accompany each one. Sir William Dunn School of Pathology, Oxford University. - [Read FPLC Protocol]

Category: Transfection Protocols: Electroporation Sonoporation Protocols

Protocol describes a method for introducing gene constructs into mouse embryos by electroporation. Gene constructs can be quickly tested for tissue-specific transcriptional activity or can be used to overexpress gene products. - [Read Protocol Electroporation]
