- | Protocol 1: Transformations
| |
- |
| |
- |
| |
- | Regeants:
| |
- |
| |
- | * Competent DH5α cells (100uL per transformation)
| |
- | * up to 5uL of plasmid you want to transform
| |
- | * 800uL of LB (non-contaminated) per transformation
| |
- | * Plate with correct antibiotics
| |
- |
| |
- |
| |
- | Procedure:
| |
- |
| |
- | * Chill a box of pipette tips at -4 C and put your reaction tubes on ice.
| |
- | * Obtain DH5α cells from the –80 C freezer and thaw in palm. Store on ice for 10 minutes.
| |
- | * Use a chilled tip to transfer 100 ul of the DH5α cells into each tube. Set aside one tube as a control.
| |
- | * Pipet up to 5uL of the plasmid (up to 50ng per 100ul of competent cells, plasmid amount. Should not exceed 5% that of the competent cells) into each tube. Swirl.
| |
- | * Store on ice for 30 minutes.
| |
- | * Place tubes in incubator set to 42<sup>O</sup>C for EXACTLY 90 seconds.
| |
- | * Return the tubes to ice for 2 minutes.
| |
- | * Add 800uL of LB to each tube.
| |
- | * Incubate at 37<sup>o</sup>C for 45 minutes, ensure that the tube has at least 2ml capacity, to properly aerate the cells.
| |
- | * Spread cells on plate with appropriate antibiotic: plate between 50- 300ul each. Let dry.
| |
- | * Place plates inverted in incubator at 37<sup>o</sup>C for 12-16 hours.
