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.
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.
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.
NovaBlue GigaSingles™ Competent Cells produce greater than 1 x 10⁹ colonies/μg plasmid DNA for cloning applications requiring high-efficiency transformations.
MC1061/P3 Chemically Competent E. coli are used for highly efficient transformations that require the P3 episome for selection and maintenance of vectors encoding the tyrosine tRNA suppressor (synthetic supF gene, such as pCDM8, pcDNA1.1, or any other supF-containing vector).
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.
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.
Novagen's Rosetta™ 2 host strains are BL21 derivatives designed to enhance the expression of eukaryotic proteins that contain codons rarely used in E. Coli.
MultiShot Stbl3 Chemically Competent E. coli Cells support cloning of unstable vectors with direct repeats. Automation-compatible 96-well format ensures high-throughput use while the Stbl3 strain minimizes recombination and maintains complex constructs.
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.
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.
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.
BL21(DE3) is a chemically competent E. coli cell suitable for transformation and high level protein expression using a T7 RNA polymerase-IPTG induction system.
