Plating Yeast Colonies
1. Swirl 1 colony (0.5 - 2 mm diameter) into 1 ml sterile dH2O with toothpick (faintly turbid).
2. Dilute 2 - 10 µl (depending on colony diameter) into 1 ml sterile ddH2O. Vortex.
3. Spread 100 µl. For ~ 1 mm colony will yield roughly 500 - 1000 colonies.
Replica Plating with Pin Stamp
1. The pin stamp has 48 pins. The top left pin is a half pin for orienting replicas. Label a sterile 96-
well plate. Pipette 180 µl of sterile ddH2O into each well. Use 6 rows of pins in the middle of the
stamp for best results.
2. Serial dilutions: Do 10-fold dilution series, such that each well has 10-fold fewer cells than the
previous well. Usually, 5 serial 10-fold dilutions is enough, but it is convenient to include a 6th
final well. Innoculate the right-hand well with a colony using a sterile toothpick (twirl toothpick)
or with 20 µl liquid culture. Transfer 20 µl to next well, repipette to mix. Repeat for all wells.
