Laboratory Notebook

Week 1

6/10/13

General BioMOD Cloning

purpose: clone for DH5α pDIMC8 BlaCaM His and DH5α pDIMC8 DsbA BlaCaM
  1. 5 mL LB
  2. 100µL 20% glucose
  3. Cm (34 mg/mL working stock), 7.35 µL of this, final concentration 50 µg/mL
  4. Add cells
  5. Inoculate overnight

6/11/13

I. Bacterial Solution: LB Agar Plates

purpose: to make agar plates for 1L LB-agar
  1. Mix stock
    1. 960mL DI water (860 mL if using glucose optional)
    2. 10g of Tryptone
    3. 10g of NaCl
    4. 5g yeast extract
    5. 15g agar
  2. Autoclave
    1. liquid (not dry) 30 min. sterilization/20 min drying
    2. cool to ~50°C in water bath
  3. Done under flame
    1. Add glucose - final concentration 20% glucose, if using 20% glucose then 100 mL, optional
    2. Add antibiotics to the specified final concentration. e.g. Cm: 50 μg/mL. Working stock: 34 mg/mL ⇒ 735 μL per 500 mL
    3. Pour onto the petri dishes, pre-mark them by type, e.g. : two black lines: Cm, red line: glucose
    4. Store

II. Experiment II from 6/10/13 continued: Miniprep (QIAGen)

purpose: to purify plasmids from our clone colonies
We followed MiniPrep
  1. transfer cell cultures into centrifuge tubes. Be careful not to drop the tip in.
  2. Centrifuge for 5 min. at 4000 rpm. N.B. make sure things are balanced.
  3. Dump the supernatant into old tube. Later add bleach before pouring down sink.
  1. Resuspend pellets and tansfer to 1.5mL labeled tube with 250μL P1 Buffer.
  2. 250 μL P2 Buffer (blue color): mix thoroughly.
  3. Time since step 2 must be less than 4 minutes: add 350μL of N3 Buffer. Mix thoroughly.
  4. Centrifuge at 13,000 rpm for 10 minutes.
  5. Apply the supernatant to QIAprep spin column.
  6. Centrifuge 1 minute. Discard flow-through.
  7. Wash w/ 750 μL Buffer PE.
  8. Centrifuge 1 minute. Discard flow-through.
  9. 1 min additional centrifuge.
  10. Column into 1.5 microcentrifuge tube.
  11. Elute with 50 μL water. 5 minute rest.
  12. Centrifuge 1 minute.

III. NanoDrop

We followed NanoDrop
