Competent Cells
Invitrogen™ MegaX DH10B T1R Electrocomp™ Cells
MegaX DH10B T1R Electrocomp Cells are the highest-efficiency electrocompetent cells available. Improved production processes provide a transformation efficiency reaching >3 x 1010 cfu/μg of pUC DNA.
Invitrogen™ One Shot™ BL21(DE3)pLysE Chemically Competent E. coli
One Shot BL21(DE3)pLysE Chemically Competent E. coli cells are ideal for use with bacteriophage T7 promoter-based expression systems such as pRSET and pET.
Invitrogen™ TOP10 Electrocomp™ Kit
TOP10 Electrocomp E. coli cells are provided at a transformation efficiency of 1 x 1010 cfu/μg supercoiled DNA and are ideal for high-efficiency cloning and plasmid propagation.
Thermo Scientific™ DH10B Competent Cells; High Efficiency
High efficiency, chemically competent E. coli cells. The DH10B strain is suitable for cloning DNA containing methylcytosine, 5-hydroxymethylcytosine, and methyladenine, allowing both prokaryotic and eukaryotic genomic DNA to be cloned efficiently.
Thermo Scientific™ BL21(DE3) Competent Cells
Suitable for the expression of non-toxic heterologous genes. The strain contains the lambda DE3 prophage that carries the gene for T7 RNA polymerase under control of a lacUV5 promoter, allowing expression of the T7 RNA polymerase to be induced with IPTG.
Thermo Scientific™ DH5α Competent Cells
Chemically competent E. coli cells recommended for routine subcloning into plasmid vectors. Subcloning efficiency cells are not suitable for the generation of cDNA libraries.
MilliporeSigma™ Novagen™ Rosetta-gami™ 2 (DE3) Competent Cells
Rosetta-Gami 2 host strains allows for enhanced disulfide bond formation and enhanced expression of eukaryotic proteins that contain codons rarely used in E. coli.
MilliporeSigma™ Novagen™ Rosetta-gami™ 2 (DE3) pLysS Competent Cells
Rosetta-Gami 2 host strains allows for enhanced disulfide bond formation and enhanced expression of eukaryotic proteins. T7 lysozyme expression suppresses basal T7 expression.
Invitrogen™ MAX Efficiency™ DH5αF'IQ Competent Cells
MAX Efficiency DH5αF'IQ Competent Cells are high transformation efficiency chemically competent cells prepared by a patented modification of the procedure of Hanahan. This strain is a derivative of the DH5α strain, sharing the same benefits.
Invitrogen™ ElectroMAX™ DH12S Cells
ElectroMAX DH12S Cells, a derivative of DH10B cells, are suitable for transformation by electroporation. They may be used for production of single-stranded (ss)DNA and in procedures requiring high transformation efficiencies, such as generation of cDNA, genomic, and subtractive cDNA libraries.
Invitrogen™ One Shot™ PIR2 Chemically Competent E. coli
One Shot PIR2 Chemically Competent E. coli cells are for use with vectors that contain the R6Kγ origin of replication (e.g., pUni/V5-His-TOPO for recombination with an Echo cloning system).
MilliporeSigma™ Novagen™ BL21 (DE3) pLysS Singles™ Competent Cells
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.
Invitrogen™ BL21 Star™ (DE3)pLysS One Shot™ Chemically Competent E. coli
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.
Invitrogen™ ElectroMAX™ Stbl4™ Competent Cells
ElectroMAX Stbl4 Competent Cells are specifically designed for cloning unstable inserts. This strain is a derivative of Stbl2 cells (engineered from JM109/J5 strain).
Invitrogen™ One Shot™ BL21(DE3)pLysS Chemically Competent E. coli
One Shot BL21(DE3)pLysS Chemically Competent E. coli cells are ideal for use with bacteriophage T7 promoter-based expression systems such as pRSET and pET.
