Heat shock the cells at 42°C for 45 seconds. 5. Add 800 μl of LB Broth, and incubate in a shaker at 37°C for 45~60min. 6. Centrifuge at 12,000 for 1 min, discard 800 μl supernatant. 7. Re-suspend the pellet in the 200 μl of supernatant and spread onto one agar plate. 8. Incubate the plates overnight at 37°C.
