- 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.
