I would like to try a few things to increase my transformation efficiencies.

Do ethanol precipitated in-fusion products transform better with chemical transformation or electroporation? sample 2 and 4 compared

Does diluting the glycogen precipitated in-fusion product make a difference? Sample 2 and 1 compared

Does it make a difference to incubate the cells in 1 mL SOC as opposed to about 0.1 mL SOC? Sample 2 and 3 compared

Samples required to answer these questions.

Sample 1: ethanol precipitated in-fusion product diluted to 20 uL and 1 uL electroporated followed by 100 uL SOC incubation Sample 2: ethanol precipitated in-fusion product diluted to 2 uL and 2 uL electroporated followed by 100 uL SOC incubation Sample 3: ethanol precipitated in-fusion product diluted to 2 uL and 2 uL electroporated followed by 1000 uL SOC incubation Sample 4: ethanol precipitated in-fusion product diluted to 2 uL and 2 uL chemically transformed followed by 100 uL SOC incubation
