Make LB agar plates + antibiotic
Day 1
- Make LB agar [[|How to Link]]
- Send LB agar for autoclaving (before 12.30)
Day 2
- Get LB agar from autoclave
- Switch water bath to 50C
- Microwave LB agar flask until agar dissolves
- Put the LB agar flask into the water bath for 20-30 mins (this ensures the agar is dissolved properly)
- Turn on the Bunsen burner. From now on work next to the flame for sterile technique.
- 5 minutes before pipetting (see next step), take antibiotics out of the freezer and let them defrost
- When antibiotics have defrosted, add 200μL of antibiotic to 200mL of LB agar. Ratio of AB:LB is 1:1000
