Freezer Stocks of Synthesized Parts

Materials

  • 5mL overnight culture
  • sterile 60% glycerol
  • 3 cryovials, labelled

Procedure

  1. Label your cryovials: part name, plasmid, date, your initials.
  2. Add 500ul of sterile 60% glycerol to each of your cryovials.
  3. Add 1.5mL of overnight culture to each cryovial. (Its easiest to use a 5ml pipette, take up 4.5mL of culture then drop 1.5mL into each tube)
  4. Invert tubes several times to mix.
  5. Put in freezer box in -80C freezer. (Usually one tube is kept as the working stock and the other two are kept as back ups in a separate freezer.)
