Chemically modified bacterial cells capable of uptaking DNA from the environment via transformation. Competent cultures of E. coli are used in the lab for various procedures including cloning, protein expression, and genetic library creation.
One Shot MAX Efficiency DH5α-T1R Competent Cells are derived from the popular DH5α strain and carry the tonA (fhuA) mutation that confers resistance to T1 and T5 phage.
One Shot TOP10 Electrocomp E. coli cells are ideal for high-efficiency cloning and plasmid propagation. Provided at a transformation efficiency of >1 x 1010 cfu/ μg supercoiled DNA, these cells allow for stable replication of high copy number plasmids.
One Shot TOP10/P3 Chemically Competent E. coli cells are designed for vector transformation encoding the synthetic supF gene (tyrosine tRNA suppressor) and allow high-quality pCDM8, pcDNA1.1 plasmid, or any other supF-containing vector preparation.
One Shot TOP10 Chemically Competent E. coli are ideal for high-efficiency cloning and plasmid DNA propagation and are provided at a transformation efficiency of 1 x 109 cfu/μg plasmid DNA.
MAX Efficiency DH10B Competent Cells are highly efficient E. coli suitable for a variety of molecular biology applications. This strain is one of the most commonly used strains for everyday applications due to key strain features such as high transformation efficiency.
MultiShot FlexPlate DH10B T1R chemically competent E. coli cells are cloning competent cells pre-aliquoted in a 96-well PCR plate to increase transformation productivity.
HMS174 strains provide high transformation efficiencies and the recA mutation in a K-12 background. Strain may stabilize certain target genes whose products may cause the loss of the DE3 prophage.
BL21 strains are the most widely used hosts for protein expression from pET recombinants and have the advantage of being deficient in both lon and ompT proteases.
BL21 host strain that expresses T7 RNA polymerase and also encode T7 lysozyme that suppresses basal expression of toxic target proteins prior to induction.
