Transformation of plasmid DNA to competent E. Coli cells
Material and Reagents
1. SOC
2% Tryptone
0.5% Yeast Extract
10mM NaCl
10mM MgSO4
10mM MgCl2
2. 1.5 mL microfuge tubes
3. 42° C waterbath
4. Ice
5. 37° C shaker
Protocol
1. Thaw competent cells on ice. 20–200µL per tube
2. Add max. 20µL of a ligation reaction
3. Mix very gently!
4. Incubate the tubes on ice for 30 min
5. Heat shock the cells for 30 sec at 42°C
6. Place the tubes immediately on ice for at least 2 min
7. Add 250µL of SOC medium to each tube
8. Incubate for 1 hour at 37°C and shake vigorously
9. Plate out the suspension on a LB agar plate containing the appropriate antibiotic.
10. Incubate the plates overnight at 37°C
