Revision as of 17:34, 2 August 2012
Monday (18.6.12)
Aim – Day 1 of Generating Competent Cells: In order to culture our BioBricks in a cell line, we must first enable our cells to uptake plasmid. Today we will be starting the first day of the protocol, whereby we streak the cells on a minimal agar.
In order to culture our BioBricks in a cell line, we must first enable our cells to uptake plasmid. Today we will be starting the first day of the protocol, whereby we streak the cells on a minimal agar.
Method
Step 1 – Setting up Plates: Pour several plates with minimal agar.
Step 2 – Streaking: Streak the chosen cell line onto the minimal agar plate.
Step 3 – Incubation: Incubate at 37oC overnight
Tuesday (19.6.12)
Aim – Picking Colonies: Today we check the colony formation from yesterday’s culture, and pick a colony for inoculation

Wednesday (20.6.12)
Aim – Permeabilisation: Incubating Cells in the presences of CaCl2 will prepare the cell wall, such that it becomes permeable to DNA.
