Organization
Getting all kind of lab equipment
- key cards and keys for the lab
- cooled centifuge
- space reservation in -80°C freezer
- bottles for 70% ethanol
- ... (problems of a first year team ^^)
12th
- Chemically competent NEB Top10, DH5α and BL21 were made
15th
- 800 ml LB for plates with 1.5% agar and kanamycin (50 µg/L) were prepared
- The efficiency of our competent cells was tested
- Colonies on the agar plates were counted after transformation with 1 µl DNA (147 ng/µl)
- Cells had been incubated in SOC or LB medium
| Dilution | 200 µl (stock) | 100 µl (stock) | 1:5 | 1:10 | 1:100
|
| DH5α | SOC: 30 LB: 10 | SOC: 7 LB: 1 | SOC: 1 LB: 2 | SOC: 2 LB: 1 |
|
| NEB 10β | SOC: 170 LB: 135 | SOC: 100 LB: 79 | SOC: 25 LB: 22 | SOC: 9 LB: 9 | SOC: 1 LB:0
|
- BL21 cells were centrifuged and plated; only 128 colonies grew in total indicating a very bad efficiency (~482.11).
Following formula was used to calculate the efficiency:
- Efficiency = (CFU /µg DNA) / Dilution
- for DH5α: medial efficiency in SOC: 1864.36, and in LB: 440.68
- for NEB: medial efficiency in SOC: 6779.66, and in LB: 4698.30
- Higher efficiency when using SOC!

23th
- 5 µl of the PCR products were run on a 1,5% agarose gel
- DNA bands were purified from gel with the High Pure Product Purification Kit. Full length products were contaminated with REACh1

28th
- The DNA concentration of the SOE2 products were measured after purification
- 1: 57 ng/µL
- 2: 69.5 ng/µL
29th
30th
- A PAGE of the SOE2 products was run on agarose gel for checking
- → no positive results; only full length products were amplified
- SOE PCRs were run again
- → more template
- → hot start
- → faster
- → elongation: 15 min
- → 20 cycles
Template A+B → 20 µL → 13.8 + 6.2 5.3 + 14.7
