Amount1.5 µL VECTOR DNA
Amount4.5 µL Insert DNA
Amount0.5 µL T4 DNA ligase
Amount2 µL 5X T4 DNA Ligase Buffer
Amount12.5 µL ddH2O

step1
step1
Set up a system as required, all operations on ice Mix ligation system with 100µL of competent and ice bath for at least 30min (thorough contact of DNA and cell, enabling DNA to get inside cell walls)
step2
step2
42˚C heat shock for 90s (competent cell swell under high temperature, cell membrane and cell wall fully contact, enabling DNA to flow inside the cell)
Ice bath for 5min (Cell shrinks and DNA is dragged through the cell membrane)
step3
step3
Pipette 200µL of full nutrient culture (in clean bench), place in a shaker at 37˚C for 1h
Spread the entire sample on the plate, observe after 16h~20h
