Re: [DIYbio] Re: Transformation questions

Mega,
you should just try to add E.coli from a plate to sterile water in a
microtube. Add your DNA, then place the electrodes from a piezo
sparker in and spark 1-3 times (or have 3 tubes, and try 1 spark on
tube #1, 2 sparks on tube #2, 3 sparks on tube #3). Then add some LB,
and incubate for 1 hr... then plate that on LB + amp plates.

No CaCl2 or anything... its an experiment, but you could be the first
to actually try it! (we've talked about it a lot on here, but never
tried it)
