You have 10 ul of DNA you want to cut with HindIII, and then run a gel, in order to cut out certain bands and purify the DNA from them. Since the DNA is pretty concentrated, you are going to cut it in a 50 ul total volume and then run it in 2 adjacent lanes of a gel, to avoid overloading the lanes. What are all the ingredients you need to put into a tube, how much of each, and what is the temperature ordinarily used? (Amount of HindIII might vary, but be safe and put in twice as much as you might normally use to cut less DNA)
