Preparation of Competent Cells
- 1. Streak cells froms frozen stock onto YETM plate. Incubate overnight at 37°C
- 2. Pick a single fresh colony to inoculate 5mL of YETM medium. Grow over night at 37°C.
- Do not vortex cells at any time after this point in the procedure
- 3. Dilute 1mL of culture into 50mL YETM medium prewarmed to 37°C
- Grow at 37°C for 2hr with agitation
- Volumes can be scaled up 5X and all of the 5mL overnight culture can be used
- 4. Transfer culture to sterile 50 mL tube. Chill on ice/water 10-15 minutes
- 5. Centrifuge for 10 minutes at 2000rpm at 4°C. Immediately aspirate off all of the supernatant
- Do not allow cells to warm above 4°C at any time in this procedure
- 6. Resuspend cells in 10mL of ice-cold TFB1 with gentle re-pipetting. Use chilled glass or plastic pipette
- 7. Incubate cells on ice for 5min
