[DIYbio] Re: -20C Glycerol stock

Hi Sebastian,
 
I use one part bacterial culture and one part sterile glycerol.  Mix thouroughly with a wide bore pipette (or chop the end off a 1000 ml blue tip.)  They last at least a year at -20oC, maybe longer. (E coli-based clones).
 
Note:  An agar stab in an eppy with a gas permeable top and stored in the fridge at 4oC lasts a few months.  I use that method when I have a larger queue of clones than I can deal with right away but don't need long term storage.  Hint:  Gas permeable bandages with sticky on the back make a great topper for these. Just cut it up, stick on, and fold the edges over.   If you have a lot of clones use a 96 well plate and a whole bandage.
 
Good luck!
 
Stacy
