How not to do a miniprep

 * AM miniprep failed when tubes caps came off in initial cell-pelleting stage, splashing and mixing samples.
 * Re-inoculated 5 mL liquid cultures of LE392 transformants (B0015, J23114, R0011, C0012), 2 apiece in Amp LB and grew all day for PM miniprep
 * When liquid cultures reached OD of approximately 0.6, mixed 0.5 mL of cell solution from each culture with 0.5 mL of filter-sterilized 50% glycerol solution for long-term storage. Because didn't have immediate access to liquid nitrogen, left samples aside at 4 C to be flash-frozen the next morning.
 * Miniprepped the result in the evening according to the standard miniprep protocol, and left eluted DNA at 4 C.
