Hey all!
I made some competent DH5 alpha E. coli cells today (which took 5 and a half hours to grow to the optical density of 0.350!) and used the colorimeter to see if they had reached the optical density . I have also transformed them so I can do alkaline lysis tomorrow! Still in the lab currently waiting as the transformed cells are currently in the incubator for 45 minutes then I need to spread plate them on to LB agar plates that have ampicillin in them and put them in a incubator over night. I’m using the same plasmids again (pALA1029, pOG4, pOG04, pOG4.003).
See you all tomorrow!
Soph 🙂
