Making electrocompetent cells:

1. Grow cells in sidearm flask or tissue culture plates with gentle agitation until a Klett unit reading of 100 to 200 was
obtained.
2. Harvest cells and wash three times with cold sterile 10% glycerol.
3. Resuspend 1/100 volume of 10% glycerol.

Electroporation of cells:

  1. Add up to 1 µg plasmid DNA to 60 µl of electrocompetent cells. Homogenize by gently mixing with pipette several
    times. Incubate on ice for 10 min. Transfer mixture into a prechilled cuvette.
  2. Wipe moisture from the cuvette and insert the cuvette into the device.
  3. Electroporation:

    Mode Prokaryotes “O“
    Voltage (V) 1,200 V
    Time constant (T) 5 ms

  4. Wash cells out of the cuvette with 1 ml of outgrowth medium and incubate for 2 h at 37 °C.
  5. Plate on selective agar.
Expected Results:
Transformation efficiency up to 105 transformants/µg of DNA.
