Use the matrix below as a checklist while adding
reagents to the pAmp and pKan tube. Use a fresh
pipette tip for each reagent. Add all reagents
directly to the solution.
NOTE The buffer is always added before the
enzymes. Tube 2X RB B/H _________

• After incubation, freeze the reaction at -20oC
  until you are ready to proceed to Ligation. You
  can store reactions at this temperature for
  several days.
