- Materials
- Plate or stock of E.coli DH5α cell
- LB
- TSS buffer
- Ice
- Procedure
- Grow 5ml overnight culture of cells in LB media, dilute this culture back into 25-50ml of fresh LB media in a 200ml conical flask.
- In the morning You should aim to dilute the overnight culture by at least 1/100.
- Grow the diluted culture to an OD600 of 0.2 - 0.5. (You will get a very small pellet if you grow 25ml to OD600 0.2)
- Put Eppendorf tubes on ice now so that they are cold when cells are aliquoted into them later. If your culture is X ml, you will need X tubes. At this point you should also make sure that your TSS is being cooled (it should be stored at 4°C but if you have just made it fresh then put it in an ice bath).
- Split the culture into two 50ml falcon tubes and incubate on ice for 10 min.
- All subsequent steps should be carried out at 4°C and the cells should be kept on ice whenever possible.
- Centrifuge for 10 minutes at 3000 rpm and 4°C.
- Decant supernatant, remove leftover media by carefully pipetting
- Resuspend in TSS buffer (10% of original volume), vortex gently
- Add 100 μl aliquots to chilled Eppendorfs, flash freeze and store at – 80°C in 200 µl aliquots.

- Materials
- Plasmid DNA
- Competent E. coli DH5α cells: 50 µl per transformation
- 2x SOC stock
- SOC salt stocks
- Sterile MQ
- LB agar selection plates: Two per transformation
- Eppendorf tubes
- Floater
- Ice
- 42°C water bath
- 37°C incubator: both shaker and stove
- Sterile spreader/glass beads
- Procedure (on ice)
- Thaw competent cells on ice. When using multiple aliquots, first pool all cells into a single volume to homonogize the solution. Dispose of unused competent cells. Do not refreeze since reusing thawed cells, will drastically reduce transformation efficiency.
- Pipet 50 µl of competent cells into Eppendorf tube for each transformation (labeled, prechilled, in floating rack), don’t forget control tubes
- Pipet 1-100 ng of DNA as well as control into tubes and gently mix with tip
- incubate on ice for 30 min, tubes may be gently flicked, return to ice ASAP
- Meanwhile, for every transformation, add 2 µl of each SOC salt solution into 100 µl 2x SOC stock and ad to 200 µl with sterile MQ. Place the SOC medium on ice till use
- Heat shock tubes at 42°C for 30 seconds (precisely)
- Incubate on ice for 5 min
- Add 200 µl of SOC medium to each transformation
- Incubate at 37°C for 1 hours, shaker or rotor recommended
- Pipet 20 µl & 200 µl transformation mixture onto petri plates and spread with sterilized spreader or glass beads. Let the plates dry near the flame before placing them in the incubator
- Incubate plates upside down overnight (14-18hr) at 37°C
- Pick single colonies
- Perform Colony PCR to verify
- Grow cells & miniprep
- Calculate efficiency by counting colonies (expected value: 1.5x10^8 to 6x10^8 cfu/µg DNA)

- Procedure
- Mix all elements of the recovery medium (1 ml per transformation) and place it on ice together with the electroporation cuvettes
- Thaw competent cells on ice. When using multiple aliquots, first pool all cells into a single volume to homonogize the solution. Dispose of unused competent cells. Do not refreeze since reusing thawed cells, will drastically reduce transformation efficiency.
- Pipet 50 µl of competent cells into Eppendorf tube for each transformation (labeled, prechilled, in floating rack), don’t forget control tubes
- Add at most 5 µl of plasmid DNA to the competent cells and incubate on ice for 10 minutes
- Dry the cuvette, electroporate at 2500 V and carefully add 950 µl recovery medium to the cells. Place the cuvette back on ice and incubate for 10 minutes
- Transfer the cell suspension with careful mixing into Eppendorf tubes and incubate for 2 hours at 30°C
- Plate 100 µl of the recovered cells onto a selection plate and spin down the remaining cells at 6000 rpm for 5 minutes
- Resuspend cell pellet into 50-100µl and plate on a selection plate
- Incubate the plates at 30°C for 24 - 48 hours
