Electroporation Protocol
  • Thaw electrocompetent cells on ice
  • Add 2µL of ligation product or 0.5µL of native plasmid to the cells
  • Transfer the cells in an 0.2mm electroporation cuvette
  • put the cuvette in the electroporation device and pulse the cells at 2.5kV, 200 Ohms and 25µF
  • add 200µL of LB right after pulsing
  • recover 2 hours at 37°C
  • plate 200µL and 50µL of the cells on LB + erythromycin (200µg/mL), incubate overnight at 37°C
