Making CCMB 80 buffer and CaCl2 + Gliserin 15% buffer.

Sunday, 2 June 2013
Making competent cell with iGEM standard method (CCMB 80 Buffer) and with CaCl2 + Gliserin 15% buffer.

Tuesday, 4 June 2013
Transform the plasmid to DH5α competent cell. We compared number of colony from CaCl2 method and  from iGEM standard method. For each method, we spread 20 µl and 200 µl culture.

Wednesday, 5 June 2013
Count the transform colony. Wehave found that the number of colony from 20 µl with CCMB 80 Buffer gave  a better result than 200 µl with CaCl2 + Gliserin 15% buffer. So, we are confident with iGEM standard method.

Thursday, 6 June 2013
We try varying the time and repetition of heat shock during transformation. We use single heat shock and double heat shock, and 60 sec and 90 sec for each method.

Friday, 7 June 2013
Count the transformation colony. Wehave found that the number of colony from single heat shock for 60 sec giving the best result than other. So, we applied this method for our transformation.
