Revision as of 20:36, 19 August 2014
Cells preparation
Day 1 Made a preculture (5ml LB)
Day 2 Wtih precultures made the day before, add 1ml of bacteria in 100ml of LB medium - use a 500ml erlenmeyer
Shake vigorously at 37°C utile OD650 reaches 0.2/0.3
Cool down the culture by immersing them into ice
Centrifuge the cells for 10min at 4000 rpm at 4°C
Resuspend the cell pellet in 50 ml of CaCl2 (initial volume/2)
5 min on ice
Centrifuge the cells for 10min at 4000 rpm at 4°C
incubate 3/4h in ice
cells stay competent during 24h at 4)C (increase of competence before a couple of hours in ice)
conservation = ad 1ml of glycerol 87% in 4ml of bacteria - freez at -80°C
Transformation
Add xµl of plasmid in 100µl of competent cells
shake smoothly
let 20min at 4°C 2min30s at 42°C (heat shock)
1-2min in ice
ad 0.9ml of LB medium without antibiotics
let 30min/1h to allow the expression of gene resistance
Spread on dishes (LB+Antibiotics) -100µl -200µL
centrifugate the rest of the sample - resuspend the cell pellet in 100µl of LB medium and spread on a dish
