Making Antibiotic Stocks

02/1/13

Antibiotics are used to isolate organisms into which plasmids containing antibiotic resistance genes have been transformed.

Make antibiotic plates with the following specs.


Antibiotic Concentration (µg/mL) Color Code
Ampicillin 100 Orange
Chloramphenicol 35 Green
Kanamycin 50 Red
Tetracycline 15 Yellow

Stocks should be made at 1000x concentration, so that making 1L of plate medium will require only 1mL of stock antibiotic solution.


Stocks of antibiotics are made at the following concentrations


Ampicillin 100 mg/mL
Chloramphenicol 35 mg/mL
Kanamycin 30 mg/mL
Tetracycline 15 mg/mL

50mL of stock were prepared and split into several 15mL tubes

Stocks should be stored in the refrigerator at 4°C

Making Agar Plates

LB agar is used to grow our stocks of Escherichia coli


Recipe: Per 1000 mL
  • 10g Bacto Tryptone
  • 5g Yeast Extract
  • 10g Sodium Chloride (NaCl)
  • 15g Agarose

Mix Components in 1L of dH2O until dissolved. Spilt 1000mL solution into two flask. Cap flask with aluminum to prevent spilling of solution. Autoclave on slow exhaust for 20 minutes. Keep liquid in 65°C water bath to prevent setting until 18-Jan.
