Results of Competent Cell Testing

 * The number of colonies on each of the plates spread with the 090623 competent cells are below:
 * Tube A - 0 colonies
 * Tube B - 0 colonies
 * Tube C - 23 colonies
 * Tube D - 6 colonies
 * DB3.1 - 1 colony


 * As the control transformation did not have many colonies, the concentration of the pUC19 that was used might not be correct, will re-transform A and B tubes and make glycerol stocks of C and D

Making Glycerol Stocks of C and D tubes of Competent Cells

 * Made a 14% glycerol stock by adding 393uL 100% glycerol to 2.41mL competent cells
 * Made 27 competent cell aliquots by adding 100uL of cells into chilled 1.7mL centrifuge tubes and storing in -80 freezer

Testing Competent Cells

 * As the control plasmid did not show conclusive reuslts, transformed competent cell stocks A and B and a control DB3.1 competent cell aliquot with 5uL pUC19 plasmid following the iGEM:British Columbia Transformation protocol
