Experiment 1.1 - Chemical Transformation Efficiency
This experiment was designed to test several parameters of our transformation protocol to determine ways of increasing our transformation efficiency.
Experiment 2.1 - Competent Cell Efficiency
In this experiment we determined the relative efficiency of three different batches of competent cells; one prepared using a protocol supplied by our advisor, Alex, and the other two prepared according to the iGEM protocol.
Experiment 2.2 - Transformation Recovery Period
We tested the effect of varying the recovery period of our transformation protocol on transformation efficiency.
Experiment 2.3 - Transformation Recovery Medium
In this experiment we tried using different types and volumes of growth media during the recovery phase of our transformation protocol to see which worked the best.
Experiment 3.1 - Promega Miniprep Protocol
Several parameter of the Promega miniprep protocol were varied in this experiment to investigate their effect on DNA recovery.
Experiment 5.1 - Calculating Competent Cell Efficiency
We calculated the efficiency of our competent cells using iGEM's transformation efficiency kit.
Experiment 6.1 - Competent Cell Efficiency
This experiment was conducted to compare the relative efficiency of a new batch of competent cells to our original supply.
Experiment 10.1 - Preliminary Homemade Miniprep Buffer Experiment
This experiment tests the effectiveness of each of our homemade miniprep buffers individually within the Qiagen miniprep system.
Experiment 11.1 - Mini-column Recycling Protocol
This experiment was conducted to test whether our mini-column recycling protocol was truly effective at removing residual DNA from used miniprep mini-columns.
