Interlab Study
We are very excited to announce we've transformed our DNA parts for the 2017 iGEM Interlab Study. Check out our Twitter page Follow @RPIiGEM for weekly updates on our project!
We will be using DNA parts from Plate 7 in the distribution kit and are looking forward to collecting our first round of data.
♦Process Flow♦
Steps with an asterisk are not required in the iGEM interlab study, rather they are control steps to preserve the DNA and ensure that if anything goes wrong, we have a stock to retransform We choose two colonies per plate so we can run biological duplicates. This can provide information on variability of compounds within a single organism (in this case, DH5a e. Coli) The iGEM plate reader protocol has a series of dilutions, so we will have to pay careful attention to those details when the time comes Form 1 can be filled out at any time, Form 2 requires spreadsheet data from plate reader, Form 3 is in regard to the culturing process |
♦Protocols♦
Introduction |
Used in conjunction with appropriate antibiotics to selectively plate |
---|---|
Materials |
LB Agar (NOT agarose), 35g/L appropriate antibiotic (ie, for 800mL LB Agar, add 800uL Amp, or 400Cm) |
Procedure |
Stir bar before autoclave If stir bar is forgotten, sterilize in EtOH to flame before dropping in autoclaved LB agar Mix appropriate amount of agar and DI water, dissolving completely to prevent burning agar Autoclave on liquid cycle (15 min is fine) Immediately after completing autoclave, cool on stir plate until not too hot to hold Add antibiotic Don't degrade antibiotic, but don't let cool too much and harden |
