Protocols


Plasmids transformation :
Add 20 ng of plasmid to 100 µL of competent cells thawed in ice

Incubate 5 min in ice
Add 900 µL of LB
Incubate 1 hour at 37°C with agitation
Spread 100 µL on LB limp (with antibiotic)
To make negative control, follow the same procedure but without add plasmids and spread 300 µL

Don't you ever step on a sticky chewing-gum ?!

Nowadays, chewing gum is the second urban pollutant after cigarette butts. To clean chewing gum, specific engines are used but they are heavy and expensive. The time required for its use is long and they need a large quantity of water. Besides economical aspects, chewing gums have an environmental impact. They are dangerous for the wildlife such as birds. Indeed, believing that it is bread, they eat chewing gums and choke. Regarding these alarming facts, we have decided to create a new environmentally- responsible way to sanitize our streets.

Chewing gum pollution is a real problem. From sidewalks to under your desk at school, chewing gums are everywhere!

This is the plasmid purification kit of the Igem-AMU team of 2014.


Use the kit with gloves and without fire.


Cultivate and harvest bacterial cells Harvest the bacterial cells in a 2 mL tube Centrifuge 30 sec at 11.000 g
Cell lysis Add 250µL of Buffer A1 and suspend the cells Then Add 250µL of Buffer A2 Incubate 5 min at RT Add 300 µL of Buffer AE3
Clarification of the lysis Shake gently until the blue disappear Centrifuge 5-10 min at 11.000 g
Bind DNA Load supernatant on a new column with a discard tube below Centrifuge 1 min at 11.000 g
Wash silica membrane Discard the content of the discard tube and replace it below the column (optional: Add 500 µL of Buffer AW and incubate 5 min at RT) Add 600 µL of Buffer A4 Centrifuge 1 min at 11.000 g
Dry silica membrane discard the content of the discard tube and replace it below the column Centrifuge 2 min at 11.000 g
Elute DNA Place a 1.5 mL Eppendorf tube below the column Add 50 µL of Buffer AE Incubate 1 min at RT Centrifuge 1 min at 11.000g

Nanodrop measurement:


Add 2µL of buffer AE, close the machine and open it again, then clean up and down with paper.

Add 2µL of buffer AE, close and mesure for the blank, then clean up and down with paper.

Add 2µL of your sample and close it. Don’t forget to note your concentration !

Clean your sample with paper, then clean up and down with AE

Don’t put your finger on the paper when you are cleaning, you could contaminate the sample with YOUR DNA !
