Transformation
-
Always keep competent bacteria on ice before the heat shock in order to maintain competence.
- Add 1 µL of DNA (can be adjust with the DNA concentration, for example transform the entire ligation product) to 200 µl of competent cells. Mix carefully by moving the tip around.
- Incubate cells on ice for 30 min.
- Heat-shock cells for 2 min in a 42°C water bath.
- Incubate cells on ice for 5 min.
- Add 0.8 ml of room temperature LB.
- Incubate 1h at 37°C.
- Spread 100 µl of bacterial suspension on a LB agar plate containing the appropriate antibiotic and the rest in an other plate LB+AB
- Incubate overnight at 37°C
