Procedure to create a frozen stock

  1. Add 750µL of bacteria and 250µL of 60% glycerol into a centrifuge tube.
  2. Shake it well to mix.
  3. Label the tube with colored tape.
  4. Put in into the -80 degree C freezer iGem box (2nd row from top, first drawer from left)

Mini-Prep (Protocol pamphlet is available in the lab as well)

  2. Spin in the centrifuge on the highest speed (14,000 rpm) for 1 min.
  3. Add 400µL of lysis.
  4. Put on vortexer until homogenous (~30 sec)
  5. Let sit for 3 min
  6. Spin again for 1 min at 14,000 rpm.
  7. Add 400µL of wash buffer
  8. Spin again for 1 min
  9. Take bottom off and pour out the liquid.
  10. Centrifuge again
  11. Warm up a bottle of elution buffer in microwave for 10 sec
