DMSO

  • Grow ~ 5 mL of E. Coli overnight with appropriate antibiotics.
  • Centrifuge for 5-10 minutes & pour off supernatant.
  • Resuspend in 900 uL of HY (hypho) and 100 uL of filter-sterilized DMSO. Hypho is better than LB for this, I hear it buffers.
  • Store at -80oC.
  • Test stock after frozen a while.
