This protocol is for the typical electro-transformation of E. coli done in the Richard Lab.

The consensus electroporation protocol should be consulted if deviating from the procedure outlined here. Procedure

1) I used 4 - 250 mL capped elenmyer flasks

1. Chill the # electroporation cuvettes by floating them in an ice bath.
