  •           Colonies in each 2L flask, then grow overnight 37oshaking
  • Take 1 ml sample of O/N growth for SDS Page analysis
  • Spin culture at 7,000rpm for 5 minutes to pellet, toss super
  • Resuspend pellets in 200ml Sonication Buffer
  • Sonicate 10-15 times on high power for about 1 minute-don’t foam
  • Let solution stay on ice while sonicating, let rest between bursts to cool
  • When finished, solution has consistency of water-test with pipet bulb
  • Rinse probe with dd water, EtOH, dd water again
  • Spin 10,000rpm 1 hour  Save super for column purification
