Week 1
06/01 - 06/05
06-04-15 : Transformation of our biobricks in DH5-α competent cells : xxxxxxxx
Materials :
- Competent DH5α cells (100µL per transformation)
- Ice (in ice bucket/container)
- 2mL tube (1 per a transformation)
- 42°C water bath
- SOC media
- Petri dishes with LB agar and appropriate antibiotic (2 per transformation)
- 37°C incubator
Protocol :
- Thaw on ice one tube of DH5α cells. Place 1.5mL microcentrifuge tubes on wet ice.
- Gently mix cells with the pipette tip and aliquot 50µL for each transformation into a 1.5mL centrifuge tube.
- Refreeze any unused cells.
- Add 1 to 5µL (1-10ng) DNA to the cell and mix gently (Not mix by pipetting up and down).
- Incubate tubes on ice for 30 minutes.
- Heat shock cells for 40 seconds in a 42°C water bath without shaking.
- Place tube on ice for 3 minutes.
- Add pre-warmed 700µL SOC medium (XXXXXXXX).
- Incubate at 37°C for 40 minutes under shaking condition (200 rpm).
- Spread 200µL of transformed cell on LB + Cm34 (chloramphenicol 34µg/mL).
- Incubate dishes overnight at 37°C.
06-05-15 : Bacterial amplification : xxxxxxxxxxx
Materials :
- Petri dishes
- LB with or without chloramphenicol
- 15mL falcon tubes (3 per Petri dishes used)
Protocol :
- Fill the tubes with 5mL of the correct media (3 tubes per strain).
- Pick three transformed clones per Petri dishes (1 clone per 15mL tube).
- Incubate in agitation (8 hours at 200 rpm, 37°C).
