Transforming BioBricks

  1. split the competent E. coli cells (~75ul) in two.
  2. competent cells (~33ul) into eppendorfs on ice..
  3. add 1ul of plasmid DNA.
  4. incubate on ice for at least 5 mins.
  5. heat shock +42 ºC for 45 secs.
  6. back on ice for 2 mins to reduce damages.
  7. add 1ml of soc media.
  8. incubate +37ºC in a shaker for 1 hour.
  9. spread the reaction on kan/carb LB plates.
  10. grow +37 ºC overnight.
