- Grow overnight culture in 5ml of LB broth at 37C
- Dilute the overnight culture to a ratio of 1:100 and incubate at 37C for 1 hour
- Set up the following broths with different concentrations of IPTG in 5ml of LB broth
- 2mM IPTG
- 0.2mM IPTG
- 0.02mM IPTG
- Broth only
- Innoculate the broth with the appropriate cultures and incubate at 37°C for two hours.
- Prepare the slides by pippeting 500 µL of 1.2% agarose. Gently place the coverslip over the slide.
- Wait for about 5 minutes for the agarose to harden. Remove the coverslip by gently sliding the coverslip horizontally from the slide. This is to ensure that agarose layer remains undisturbed.
- Place 0.5 µl of each sample in each well of the slide and label accordingly. Place a coverslip on top of the slide.
- Transfer 200 µl of each sample to microfuge tubes.
- Before loading the sample add 1 µl of membrane dye to each sample.
