This also shows that our miniprep cleaning is working as well, as the new and reused ones look indistinguishable.

I think the biggest issue for these is having a growth time of exactly 12-16 hours, and miniprepping immediately at that point. I'm guessing that putting them in the fridge was our big problem.

We don't have enough epi's to do cryopreserve stocks however.

I made broth cultures from E0840, and K115020. I'll be back tomorrow at 8.30am to miniprep them.
