Things we did today
Wetlab work
Test Transform pRL1383a Plasmids from yesterday
- KS
cancelled because there are better ways to test of our plasmid prep worked, we'll digest and run it on gel to verify
Counted transformation efficiency of new competent cells
- Grace
| Plasmid | Dilution | Colony Forming Units on Plate | Number of Transformed Cells per mL |
|---|---|---|---|
| pUC18 | 1:1 | 79 | 3950 |
| 1:10 | 12 | 6000 | |
| 1:100 | 1 | 5000 | |
| BBa_B0024 | 1:1 | 0 | n/a |
| BBa_B0025 | 1:1 | 1 | 50 |
| BBa_E0240 | 1:1 | 0 | n/a |
Discussion
Even though our cells appear more competent than the last batch, we still have a long way to go compared to the commercial grade competent cells. It would be a better idea to chill the tubes, aliquot, then ethanol freeze them.
