Transformation of DH5α E. coli strain
Transformation of DH5α E. coli strain
Materials needed:
Liquid LB medium
LB agar plates with ampicillin (100 g mL-1)
Procedure:
Put your liagtion samples on ice, defreeze 200 L of your competent E. coli cells on the top of the ice and add the cells to your ligation samples. Mix it carefully.
Incubate the eppendorf reaction tubes for 30 min on ice, transfer the tubes for 90 sec to 42 oC (heat shock) and put them back for 5 min on ice.
Add 800 L LB medium (without antibiotic) to the cells, and incubate the cells for 1 hour at 37 oC with agitation.
Add 100 L of the culture onto LB agar plate (containing antibiotic) and spread them using a spreader.
The remaining cells are collected by centrifugation for 1 min at 13,000 rpm and remove the supernatant leaving 100 L to re-dissolve the pellet.
Plate this concentrated cells as well (as a backup)
Incubate the cells overnight at 37 oC
Later, the plates should be stored at 4 oC
We did 6 tubes (so, 12 plates)
