Competent Cell Culturing

Competent Cell Transformations

1. Thaw competent E.coli cells on ice (XL1-Blue for cloning)
2. Add 50 uL of competent cells to sterile 14 mL Falcon culture tubes
3. Add 1 uL of the miniprep to each culture tube
4. Equilibrate the cells on ice for 10 min
5. Heat shock the cells at 42C for 30-45 seconds
6. Immediately place the cells back on ice for 3 min
7. Add 250 uL LB media and shake at 250 rpm and 37C for 30 min
8. Plate 10 ul and 290 ul of the recovered cells onto LB-agar plates supplemented with appropriate antibiotics
9. Invert and incubate at 37C overnight
