Incubate the ligation mixture at room temperature (22°C) for 1 hour. If maximal number of
transformants is required, incubate overnight at 4°C.
Note. During the ligation prepare competent E.coli cells using the provided set of solutions for preparation
of competent cells – TransformAid Bacterial Transformation Kit. To enable blue/white screening, choose
only strains having lacZ∆M15 mutation, for example, XL1-Blue, ER1727, JM109 or other. Refer to
transformation protocols on next page.
Use 2.5 µl of the ligation mixture directly for bacterial transformation.
Note. Keep the ligation mixture at -20°C if transformation is postponed. Thaw on ice and mix carefully
before transformation.
