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 BL21 Star (DE3)pLysS Chemically Competent E. coli are cells designed for applications that require high-level expression of non-toxic recombinant proteins from low or high copy number vectors, such as pRSET and pET.
One Shot MAX Efficiency DH10B T1 Phage-Resistant E. coli have all the benefits of the DH10B genotype, with the addition of the tonA (also known as fhuA) genotype for resistance to T1 and T5 phage infection.
MAX Efficiency™ DH5α Competent Cells are a well-known, versatile strain that is used in many everyday cloning applications. Prepared by a proprietary modification of the Hanahan method, these cells are suitable for high efficiency transformations in applications where low amount of DNA is used or to construct libraries using plasmid-derived vectors.
MultiShot FlexPlate TOP10 chemically competent E. coli cells are cloning competent cells that are pre-aliquoted in a 96-well PCR plate to increase transformation productivity.
One Shot Stbl3 Chemically Competent E. coli are designed for cloning direct repeats found in lentiviral expression vectors as these cells reduce the frequency of homologous recombination of direct repeats found in lentiviral vectors (ViraPower Lentiviral Expression kits) and other retroviral vectors (instability-prone HIV-based plasmids).
MultiShot StripWell Stbl3 Chemically Competent E. coli cells are cloning competent cells designed for cloning direct repeats found in lentiviral expression vectors.
MultiShot FlexPlate OmniMAX 2 T1R chemically competent E. coli cells are a superior strain of cloning competent cells that are pre-aliquoted in a 96-well PCR plate to increase transformation productivity.
MultiShot Mach1™ T1R Chemically Competent E. coli Cells enable rapid, high-efficiency cloning in an automation-ready 96-well format. Fast-growing and phage-resistant, these cells support same-day transformation and streamlined high-throughput workflows.
Expi293 Met (–) Expression Medium is a cGMP-manufactured, chemically defined, serum-free, protein-free, animal origin-free, methionine-free medium for growth and transfection of Expi293F cells.
Origami B host strains carry the same mutations as the original Origami strain, except that they are derived from a lacZY mutant of BL21 to enable precise control of expression levels using IPTG.
MAX Efficiency DH5α T1R Phage-Resistant Competent Cells are high efficiency chemically competent cells for generating cDNA libraries and were developed to confer resistance to the lytic bacteriophages T1 and T5.
