In yesterday's lab session, the metal sensor team inoculated 3 tubes of 3ml LB with the three transformant ''E.coli'' cultures grown on the LB + ampicillin plates (i.e. the ''E.coli'' bacteria which had taken up the ''BBa_J33206'' DNA). In addition, 0.5ml of each of these three solutions was used to innoculate 3 flasks containing 50ml LB each. The initial inoculations of 3ml LB solutions is for today's mini prep; the subsequent inoculations of 50ml LB solutions is for today's midi prep. | In yesterday's lab session, the metal sensor team inoculated 3 tubes of 3ml LB with the three transformant ''E.coli'' cultures grown on the LB + ampicillin plates (i.e. the ''E.coli'' bacteria which had taken up the ''BBa_J33206'' DNA).

Introduction
In yesterday's lab session, the metal sensor team inoculated 3 tubes of 3ml LB with the three transformant E.coli cultures grown on the LB + ampicillin plates (i.e. the E.coli bacteria which had taken up the BBa_J33206 DNA). In addition, 0.5ml of each of these three solutions was used to innoculate 3 flasks containing 50ml LB each. The initial inoculations of 3ml LB solutions is for today's mini prep; the subsequent inoculations of 50ml LB solutions is for today's midi prep.
Today, the team hope to firstly carry out a mini prep for the three transformant cultures. Secondly, it is intended that restriction enzyme digests are carried out on a sample of all three culture plasmids along with DNA gel electrophoresis to determine whether the transformed DNA is in fact the BBa_J33206 BioBrick. Thirdly, if time permits, the team hope to carry out a midi prep of the plasmids for later cloning. If all of these steps do not get completed today, they can resumed tomorrow.
