Transform (homemade e-coli dh5α)


1. Take competent cells out of -80°C and thaw on ice (approximately 20-30 mins).


2.Remove agar plates (containing the appropriate antibiotic) from storage at 4°C and let warm up to room temperature and then (optional) incubate in 37°C incubator.


3.Mix 5 μl of DNA into 50 μL of competent cells in a microcentrifuge or falcon tube. GENTLY mix by flicking the bottom of the tube with your finger a few times.


4.Incubate the competent cell/DNA mixture on ice for 30 mins.


5.Heat shock each transformation tube into a 42°C water bath for 90 secs.


6.Put the tubes back on ice for 5 min.


7.Add 50 μl LB to the bacteria and grow in 37°C shaking incubator for 180 min.


8.Spin down


9.Plate all of the transformation onto a 10 cm LB agar plate containing the appropriate antibiotic (Chloramphenicol).


10.Incubate plates at 37°C overnight.
