Quick & dirty electrocompetent cells preparation FOR TRANSFORMATION OF SUPERCOILED PLASMIDS INTO E. COLI

Before starting, put centrifugation bottles, Falcon tubes and ddH2O at 4°C. Also cool the centrifuges.

1) Inoculate a 1.5 ml culture in LB or appropriated medium and grow overnight at the appropriated temperature in a 12ml red cap tube 2) Quick chill the culture on ice and transfer the cells into a 1.5 mL microcentrifuge tube 3) Harvest the cells at 14000 rpm at 4°C for 45 seconds. 4) Discard the supernatant and resuspend the bacteria in 1 volume of cold sterile ddH2O. 5) Spin at 14000 rpm at 4°C for 45 seconds. 6) Repeat steps 4 and 5 7) Resuspend it in 5µL cold sterile ddH2O.
