== Procedure ==
Design primers compatible for cloning in vector containing the LIC sequence (e.g. pDNR Dual LIC) and perform PCR. Separate 4 µl of PCR reaction via agarose gel electrophoresis to check PCR product. Many unspecific bands besides the desired one require gel separation of the PCR sample and extraction of the desired band. If necessary, 2-3 PCR reactions can be pooled to gain more material. Add 10x NEB2 Buffer to the PCR sample to reach 1x end concentration and add 2 µl of DpnI enzyme. Incubate 4 h at 37°C and inactivate enzyme at 80°C for 10 min. Purify PCR product with Qiagen PCR purification Kit. Determine concentration of PCR product at Nanodrop and calculate molarity.

== Molarity Calculation for LIC Cloning ==

The molar concentration of the PCR product is calculated as follows:

<div style="text-align: center; margin: 20px 0; padding: 15px; background: #f8f9fa; border: 1px solid #a2a9b1; border-radius: 4px;">
<math>c_{mol} = \frac{c_{PCR} \times 10^9}{N_{bp} \times 650}</math>
<div style="text-align: right; margin-top: 10px; font-size: 12px; color: #666;">(Equation 1)</div>
</div>

'''Variables:'''
* <math>c_{mol}</math> = molar concentration [pmol/μL]
* <math>c_{PCR}</math> = PCR product concentration [ng/μL]
* <math>N_{bp}</math> = PCR product length [bp]
* <math>650</math> = average molecular weight per base pair [g/mol]

'''Example:'''
For a 1500 bp PCR product at 50 ng/μL:

<math>c_{mol} = \frac{50 \times 10^9}{1500 \times 650} = 51,282 \text{ pmol/μL}</math>
