Method from primary and secondary reagents
Primary & secondary Reagents Required including controls
- Competent cells (from -70degree freezer)
- DNA for transformation
- LB (cupboard)
- LB-agar plates with selective antibiotic (cool room)
Method including controls
- Add 1uL resuspended plasmid DNA to 50uL competent cells.
- Incubate on ice for 45min.
- Heat shock in water bath at 42 degrees for 1min.
- Incubate on ice for 15min.
- Add 1mL LB (flame tip before use).
- Incubate at 37 degrees for 1 hour.
- Spin down cells and remove majority of LB.
- Resuspend cells in remaining LB.
- Under a bunsen spread resuspended bacteria on agar plate on selective antibiotic.
- Incubate plate overnight at 37 degrees.
- Place in cold room until needed.
Equipement Required
- microcentrifuge: 1.7ml
- Ice box
- Pipettes
- 42 degree water bath (balance room)
- 37 degree incubator
- Bunsen burner
- Spreader
- ice
