Transformation efficiency test : Competent DH5⍺ cells with pSB1C3-RFP plasmid

Objectives

To test the competency of the DH5⍺ cells done on the 05/06/16 with the stock of pSB1C3-RFP plasmid.

Materials

  • Plasmid DNA : pSB1C3-RFP at 200 pg/µL

  • DH5⍺ competent cells (See 05/06/16)

  • Petri dish LB+Cm: Cm concentration = 25 µg/mL

  • Protocol

    1. Inoculation of 3 mL O/N culture in 100 mL LB in 500 mL erlenmeyer.

    2. Incubation at 250 rpm at 37°C until the DO 0,6 —> DO = 0.615

    3. Cells were transferred to 3 sterile ice-cold 50 mL Falcon tubes. 20 mL in each falcon tube.

    4. Incubate on ice for 30 min. Do not allow cells to warm up over 4°C.

    5. Spin cells at 4000 rpm for 10 min at 4°C.

    6. Discard supernatant and try to drain all remaining media.

    7. Gently resuspend on 10 mL cold 0.1M CaCl2

    8. Incubate on ice 20 min

    9. Centrifuge 10 min at 4,000 rpm at 4°C

    10. Discard supernatant and gently resuspend on 5 mL cold 0.1M CaCl2/25% Glycerol

    11. Transfer in 1.5 mL eppendorf (100 µL/tube)

    12. Store at -80°C

    NB: The competency of the prepared cells will be tested the 23/03.
