= Things we did today =

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

= 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.
