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 30min.
- Heat shock in water bath at 42 degrees for 1min.
- Incubate on ice for 10min.
- Add 1mL LB (flame tip before use).
- Incubate at 37 degrees for 30 minutes.
- 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.
