7/7/10

Jennifer and Alex - in Lin Lab

Made CaCl2 stock solution: 0.1M - 50mL

  • molar mass = 111 g/mol
  • (0.1 mol/L)(.05 L)(111 g/mol) = 555mg
  • dissolved 555 mg CaCl2 in 50mL DIwater
  • vacuum filtered into 50mL tube

Made ampicillin stock solution:

  • 1 g ampicillin
  • 5mL DIwater
  • ethanol
  • filtered by syringe into 15mL tube
  • put into ten 1mL alliquots in 1.5mL tubes
  • stored in -20°C in ERB lab

Inoculated E. coli DH5α from frozen stock into 12 mL LB broth

  • put in 30°C, 200 rpm shaking, overnight

~1.5 hrs

7/8/10

Alex, Jennifer and Eric - in ERB

Made LB agar plates w/ ampicillin

  • 10 g LB broth
  • 7.5 g agar
  • 500 mL DI water
  • autoclaved mixture at 121°C for 30 min (sterilize time), following Mike Nelson's protocol

Created protocols for Obtaining Deionized Water in the ERB and ERB Spectrophotometer


poured 20 LB-amp plates (large)

  • left to solidify in ERB 1230
  • 12 plates were used by Ann for biobrick transformations
  • 8 plates were stored in 4°C ERB

~3.5 hrs work


Ann, Marc, Audra and Katie - in Lin Lab

Performed biobrick transformations using heat shock

After second washing:

  • ODs for sample 1 and 2 were 0.378 and 0.358 respectively

4 hrs of work
