Make a liquid culture of a single colony in 1-3 mL salt free LB </br>

Grow 300-400 mL cells (without salt) in 37°C until the O.D.reaches 0.6</br>
 +
Cool down on ice and from now on perform all the steps at 4 °C</br>
 +
Spin the cells down in falcon tubes (3500 g, 20 min, 4°C)</br>
 +
Resuspend the cells in 10 % glycerol, spin the cells down (5000 g, 10 min, 4 °C). Repeat this step 3 times</br>

Resuspend the cells in 10 % glycerol to obtain a dense pulp (usually not more than 1.5 mL)</br>

Take 50 µL sample and do the electroporation test (without DNA). You should have a pulse of 4-6 msec. If it is shorter, wash the cells once again with 30 mL glycerol</br>

Methodology


Preparing electrocompetent cells

Make a liquid culture of a single colony in 1-3 mL salt free LB
Grow 300-400 mL cells (without salt) in 37°C until the O.D.reaches 0.6
Cool down on ice and from now on perform all the steps at 4 °C
Spin the cells down in falcon tubes (3500 g, 20 min, 4°C)
Resuspend the cells in 10 % glycerol, spin the cells down (5000 g, 10 min, 4 °C). Repeat this step 3 times
Resuspend the cells in 10 % glycerol to obtain a dense pulp (usually not more than 1.5 mL)
Take 50 µL sample and do the electroporation test (without DNA). You should have a pulse of 4-6 msec. If it is shorter, wash the cells once again with 30 mL glycerol
Aliquot the cells (50 µL) and quick-freeze in liquid nitrogen and store at -80 °C

Electroporation

Add 1 µl DNA to 50 µl electrocompetent cells in an ice-cold cuvette (1 mm)
Electroporate (Eppendorf, 1700 V, 4 msec)
Add 950 µl of SOC solution
Incubate for one hour at 37 °C
Plate this out on pre-warmed plates (37 °C)
J23101, J23106 and J23117 were plated out on chloramphenicol and I13504 was plated out on ampicillin
