&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;==Electrocompetent Cells==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From Danijela Dukovski at Harvard Medical School.  This protocol works well.&lt;br /&gt;
--Julie Norville&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Materials===&lt;br /&gt;
DI water&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
10% Glycerol&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Special Equipment===&lt;br /&gt;
Centrifuge&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Ice water bath&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Liquid nitrogen&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Method===&lt;br /&gt;
Grow 500ml culture to OD 0.5 (approximately).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Spin down cells 5 times in ice cold 10% sterile glycerol.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Keep everything on ice and use a refrigerated centrifuge.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each time you resuspend use a progressively smaller volume, and make sure all the cells are well resuspended.  At the end resuspend in an appropriate volume.  It should be pretty cloudy but not super dense.  I just do it by eye, so it comes out about like the competent cells you buy.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aliquot into Eppendorf tubes (I use 250-500uL, depending on how much I have and how lazy I am), freeze in liquid nitrogen, and store at -80.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How I usually do the washes:&lt;br /&gt;
spin, resuspend in 250ml&lt;br /&gt;
spin, resuspend in 100ml&lt;br /&gt;
spin, resuspend in 50ml (can switch to Falcon tubes here)&lt;br /&gt;
spin, resuspend in 25ml&lt;br /&gt;
spin, resuspend in 10ml&lt;br /&gt;
spin, final resuspension&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sometimes I cut one of these out depending on how much of a hurry I am in.  I think the final volume (depends on the intial OD of your cells) usually ends up being 5-10mL, so you can get quite a few aliquots.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For transformation usually use 40-50uL of competent cells per transformation with a few ul (2-3) of ligation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
