Electrocompetent Cells Preparation Protocol
  • Inoculate two 250mL LB flasks with 100µL of an overnight culture of DH5α
  • Incubate until the the DO600 reach 0.5 to 0.7
  • Place the cultures on ice for 15 minutes
  • For the culture in cold sterile 50mL falcon tubes
  • Centrifuge them for 10 minutes at 6000rpm
  • Throw the supernatant
  • Resuspend the cells in 50mL cold distilled water
  • Centrifuge them for 10 minutes at 6000rpm
  • Throw the supernatant
  • Resuspend the cells in 25mL cold distilled water
  • Centrifuge them for 10 minutes at 6000rpm
  • Throw the supernatant
  • Resuspend the cells in 12.5mL cold 10% glycerol
  • Centrifuge them for 10 minutes at 6000rpm
  • Throw the supernatant
  • Resuspend the cells in 5mL cold 10% glycerol
  • Make aliquots of the desire volume in microcentrifuge tubes and freeze them at -80°C
