You should make use of the calendar feature on the wiki and start a lab notebook. This may be looked at by the judges to see how your work progressed throughout the summer. It is a very useful organizational tool as well.

Lab Protocols

Competent Cell with Calcium Chloride

1. Materials

• Solid LB medium - 1 plate
• Liquid LB medium
• 2 250ml centrifuge tubes
• Centrifuge
• Cell sample (DH5-alpha in our case)
• Autoclave
• Inoculation loop
• Liquid nitrogen
• 37°C oven
• CaCl₂:
• 60mM CaCl₂
• 10mM HEPES
• 15% glicerol
• H₂O to 100ml

2. Methods

Day 1

1. Risk the LB plate with the cell sample (DH5-alpha)
2. Incubate the plate at 37°C overnight

Day 2

1. Sterilize in the Autoclave
• 100ml of liquid LB medium
• 100 ml of CaCl₂
• 2 250ml centrifuge tubes
2. Prepare a 6ml LB inoculum with a DH5-alpha colony and incubate at 37°C/250rpm overnight

Day 3

1. Add 2ml of the inoculum in 100ml of liquid LB medium. Incubate at 37°C/250rpm until the OD reaches 0,375
2. Distribute the volume in 2 250ml centrifuge tubes (pre chilled) and spin at 10000rpm/7min/4°C
3. Discard the supernatant and ressuspend the pellet in 10ml of CaCl₂ solution
4. Spin the tubes at 7000rpm/7min/4°C
5. Discard the supernatant and ressuspend the pellet in 10ml of CaCl₂ solution. Incubate 30min on ice
6. Spin at 7000rpm/7min/4°C
7. Discard the supernatant and ressuspend the pellet in 2ml of the CaCl₂ solution
8. Distribute the 2ml in 500ul tubes adding 50ul in each.
9. Freeze the samples in liquid nitrogen
10. Stock at -80°C

Transformation in Escherichia coli (DH5-alpha)

1. Materials

• 1,5ml tube
• Styrofoam box with ice
• Agar plate with antibiotic
• Competent cells
• Plasmidial DNA
• Centrifuge
• Water bath at 42°C
• Liquid LB medium
• Shaker

2. Methods

1. Briefly spin the competent cells and put then on ice
2. Add 50ng of plasmidial DNA in a 1,5ml tube
3. Add the 50ul of competent cell in the same tube
4. Keep the tube on ice for 25min
5. Put the tube in a 42° water bath for 2 min
6. Put the tube on ice for 5 min
7. Add 200ul of liquid LB
8. Incubate at 250rpm/37°C/1 hour
9. Plate the the solution in a Agar plate with the appropriate antibiotic
10. Incubate the plate at 37°C overnight
