WEEK 1

06/01 - 06/05

06-04-15 : Transformation of our biobricks in DH5-α competent cells : xxxxxxxx

    Materials :
  • Competant DH5-α cells (100 µL per transformation)
  • Ice (in ice bucket/container)
  • 2mL tube (1 per a transformation)
  • 42°C water bath
  • SOC media
  • Petri dishes xith LB agar and appropriate antibiotic (2 per transformation)
  • 37°C incubator

    Protocol :
  1. Thaw on ice one tube of DH5α cells. Place 1.5mL microcentrifuge tubes on wet ice.
  2. Gently mix cells with the pipette tip and aliquot 50µL for each transformation into a 1.5ml centrifuge tube.
  3. Refreeze any unused cells.
  4. Add 1 to 5 µL (1-10 ng) DNA to the cell and mix gently (Not mix by pupetting up and down)
  5. Incubate tubes on ice for 30 min
  6. Heat shock cells for 40s in a 42°C water bath without shaking.
  7. Place tube on ice for 3 minutes.
  8. Add pre-warmed 700µL SOC medium (XXXXXXXX).
  9. Incubate at 37°C for 40 min under shaking condition (200 rpm)
  10. Spread 200 µL of transformed cell on LB + Cm34 (chloramphenicol 34µg/mL).
  11. Incubate dished overnight at 37°C


06-05-15 : Bacterial amplification : xxxxxxxxxxx
    Materials :
  • Petri dishes
  • LB with or without chlroramphénicol
  • 15mL falcon tubes (3 per Petridish used)

    Protocol :
  1. Fill the tubes with 5mL of the correct media (3 tubes per strain)
  2. Pick three transformed clones per Petri box (1 clone per 15mL tube)
  3. Incubate in agitation (8 hours at 200 rpm, 37°C)
