From 2014hs.igem.org

Transformation

a. Take out 50㎕of component cell* kept in 80 degrees below zero and melt it in ice. (We used the compotent cell of One Shot Top 10 Chemically compotent E. coli from Invitrogen.)

b. Add 1㎕ of plasmid DNA** to each of the tube.

c. Mix well and place them in ice for 30 minutes.

d. Place plasmid DNA in the compotent cell and keep it in 42℃ for 30 seconds and place it in ice for 2 minutes.

e. Add 250㎕ of liquid LB broth in each of the tube and grow it in 37℃ shaking incubator for an hour.

f. Leave 100㎕ and dispose.

g. Resuspend the cell, and spread 25㎕ in each of the ampicillin, kanamycin, gentamycin, tetracycline LB solid plate.

h. Spread 25㎕ of competent E. coli in LB solid plate with the same antibiotics.

i. Wait until the E. coli bacteria smears into the plate.

j. Grow it in the 37℃ incubator for a day and observe.

k. Go through miniprep again.

*We used the competent cell from ‘One Shot® TOP10 Chemically competent E. coli’ from Introgen.

**We used the plasmid DNA we got from miniprep previously.
