==Making Competent Cells==
 
-
===Materials===
 
-
* N samples of DNA to be transformed, 1 positive control sample
 
-
* N+1 electroporation cuvettes
 
-
* N+1 50μL aliquots of EC cells (we used DH5α)
 
-
* N+1 mL SOC (Super-optimal broth + 10mM glucose)
 
-
* N+1 LB-agar plates of appropriate resistances
 
-
===Procedure===
 
-
# Chill electroporation cuvettes and thawed EC cells on ice. Do not let EC cells warm to above ice-cold.
 
-
# Add 1μL of ligation product to the 50μL aliquot. Don't forget an aliquot for positive control.
 
-
# Transfer DNA/cell mixture to a cuvette and pulse at 2.5V. Rescue the cells immediately by adding 0.75mL warm SOC to the cuvette.
 
-
## Ensure that the time constant is above 3.0 for each.
 
-
# Incubate for 1 hour at 37°C.
 
-
# Plate the entire mixture on an LB-agar plate with the appropriate antibiotic resistance, grow overnight.
