Miniprep of Amp Construction Plasmid and Chlor Construction Plasmid
Centrifuge at 10200rpm (8500x g) for 1 min Add 250uL of Wash Buffer 2 and centrifuge at 10200rpm
 * Centrifuged 5mL of each construction plasmids in a 1.5mL centrifuge tube for 4 runs at 14000rpm (Galaxy 16) for 10 min.
 * Add 250uL of Resuspension Buffer with RNAase A and resuspend by vortexing
 * Add 250uL of Lysis Buffer and invert 10 times
 * Inncubate at room temperature for 5 min
 * Add 250uL of Precipitation Buffer and invert 10times
 * Transfer solutions to 2 filter mini columns some precipitate was not transfered because because it was sticking to the tube and pipet
 * Wait 2 minutes
 * Centrifuge at 4100rpm (1350xg) for 1 min
 * Remove Clarification column
 * Add Wash Buffer 1 (750uL) to column
 * Insert column nto 1.7 elution tube and add 100uL Elution Buffer
 * Spin at 10200rpm for 1 min. Store at 4°C

Results of Miniprep
NOTE: All results were found using a nanodrop with 1uL of sample

Making Competent BW27783 and DH5α cells

 * Inoculate 5mL overnight culture and grow at 30°C.
 * Dilute 0.5mL overnight culture into 50mL LB and incubate at 30°C, shaking vigorously.
 * Harvest BW27783 at Abs600nm = 0.482 and DH5α at Abs600 = 0.390.
 * Centrifuge at 1600g for 7 minutes (4°C) - (Using AMBL centrifuge, 4500rpm).
 * Wash gently in ~20mL COLD filter sterilized 0.1M CaCl2.
 * Spin down gently: 1100g, 5 minutes, 4°C - (Using AMBL centrifuge, 3700rmp).
 * Resuspend in 12.5mL cold 0.1M CaCl2.
 * Keep on ice 40 minutes.
 * Spin down: 1100g, 5 minutes, 4°C.
 * Resuspend in 2-2.5mL cold 0.1M CaCl2.
 * Store over night at 4°
 * Use 100uL aliquots, store at -80°C?.

Resuspension and Transformation of BioBricks

 * 1) Worked with Karen and Amelia
 * 2) Resuspended BioBricks into 15 µL of sdH2O in new PCR tube
