⇒ incubate for 2 h at 37°C

Ligation

  1. Ligation mix
  • 1:5 ratio of plasmid backbone : Insert
  • 1 µl 10 x T4 Ligase buffer (vortex)
  • 0.5 µl T4 Ligase
adjust to 10 µl with ddH2O
  1. Let the mixture stay for 1h at room temperature
  2. Denature the ligase at 65 °C for 5 min

Transformation

  1. Thaw competent cells on ice.
  2. Add 200 µl cells to 10µl liagtion mix
  3. Place the mixture put them on ice for 30 min
  4. Heatschock 30 sec at 42 °C
  5. Place the mixture again on ice for 2 min
  6. Add 4 x SOC medium (800 µl)
  7. Let them growth for 60 min at 37°C
  8. Spin cells down for 5 min at low speed
  9. Remove the supernatant, resuspend the cells
  10. Spread 100 µl of the cells onto the plates.
