Shooting DNA at things

Trying graphite (powdered on 220 grit sandpaper, 200ul loose powder volume in 1ml water and mixed up as a slurry, 10ul as a drop allowed to dry) as a carrier, with 2ul DNA from the miniprep (dropped on then also allowed to dry). Shot various things plus a few no-dna control, yolo run but let's hope we get at least a glimmer of ruby in a few days time! For now, pie party. My melktert recipe:
Into a saucepan put:
- 3 Tbsp corn starch
- 2 Tbsp flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- pinch of salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 Egg
- (mix), (splash of milk), (mix), 4 cups milk
- (heat and whisk till thick and custardy, 5-10 mins)
- knob of butter, vanilla (1tsp)
Pour into graham cracker base from the store, dust with more cinnamon, cool to room temp, set in fridge a few hours.
