Lab Session 27/07/2009
Today we prepared the gel for last week's rescued plasmids which contain RFP and GFP biobricks. We prepared the gel with 0.8% agorose. The final solution was 500ml using 4 gr of agorose in total.
We checked the agar plates containing colonies of plasmids with five different biobricks from last week. The list of plates and the biobricks are below:
Plate | BioBrick | Number |
Plate 1 | Bba_C0056 | 1 |
Plate 2 | Bba_B1002 | 2 |
Plate 3 | Bba_?? | 3 |
Plate 4 | Bba_C0076 | 4 |
Plate 5 | Bba_R0077 | 5 |
Expcept from plate 3, we had colonies formed in all plates.
Colonies from the plates were picked and mixed in a tube containing 5ml of LB. We prepared 12 tubes for 4 different biobricks. For each biobrick we labelled the tubes as A, B, and C. Finally we left them at shaking incubator overnight.
Preparation of the plates
We prepared the agar solutions are poured into the plates which are then placed into the fridge. The list of plates and their content are as below
Content | Number of plates |
LB | 4 |
LB + Amp | 6 |
LB + Amp + Kan | 5 |
