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.
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.
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.
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.
Tuner host strains are lacZY deletion mutants of BL21, which enable adjustable levels of protein expression throughout all cells in a culture. T7 lysozyme expression suppresses basal T7 expression.
One Shot ccdB Survival 2 T1R Competent Cells are suitable for the propagation of plasmids containing the ccdB gene and are designed for use with the Gateway Vector Conversion System and for propagating Gateway destination, donor, and supercoiled entry vectors.
Subcloning Efficiency DH5α Competent Cells are a versatile, chemically competent strain for cloning that provides a transformation efficiency of >1 x 106 cfu/μg plasmid DNA.
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.
