Transformation

Shock Cells, monitor discharge time
Add SOC to cuvettes (~400)
Transfer to culture tubes, shake at 37 for 1 hour (depending on antibiotic marker)
Plate ~200uL of SOC/Cells onto agar plate

¹To make SOC, add 20 μL 500 mM filter-sterilized glucose to 500 uL SOB (20 mM final glucose concentration)
