Part/Plasmid Numberings

The following are the numbering of the parts/plasmids that we use in the lab. Please use the same numberings if you label something when working in the lab. Extend the list for new concatenated parts.

    S/P: R0053, R0010
    X/P: E0422, E0434

Martin, Markus

Thu, 16. Aug. 2007
  • Miniprep (J23100, J37033, Q04400, Q04510, R0040, R0051, Q04121, C0053)

    One batch is miniprepped (after step 19 in the miniprep procedure) and a second batch is frozen as a backup (which is to be miniprepped from step 3 on)
  • Transformation of #13 (Q04121) and #14 (C0053)
    Numbers #13 and #14 are now growing in the 37°C incubator (step 13 in the transformation procedure)

Week 5

Date TODO's Completed People
Mon, 03. Sept. 2007
  • Prepare new competent cells
  • Miniprep pcyc177 and pcK01
  • prepare new o/n culture of pbr322
  • Run agarose gel of Minipreped plasmids
  • New competent cells prepared, they are now in the -80° Frezzer in the basement, column #17, dark orange box (we have now 30-35 EDTs of competent cells...)
  • Minipreped pcyc177 and pck01 (in the -18° freezer, where the antibiotics are)
  • pbr322 didn't grow again, so no o/n could be prepared, but we get a culture from Andy on tuesday
  • new o/n of pcyc177 and pck01 prepared (3 Falcons each), because we need to have more plasmids
  • 2 boxes of blue pipette tips are in the autoclave
  • Stefan ran the agarose gel (?)
Martin, Stefan
Tue, 04. Sept. 2007
  • Miniprep pcyc177 and pck01

  • run agarose gel to test the cut and uncut ones
  • prepare new o/n of pbr322 (from Andy)
  • Miniprep of pcyc177 and pck01 (but not yet tested)
  • Prepared 3 o/ns of pbr322 (finally ;-) and each 1 o/n of pcyc177 and pck01, just in case there are problems with the miniprep
Martin, Christian
Wed, 05. Sept. 2007
  • Miniprep of pbr322
  • Test-Digest of pcyc177 and pck01 and agarose gel...
