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.
Chemically competent E. coli cells recommended for routine subcloning into plasmid vectors. Subcloning efficiency cells are not suitable for the generation of cDNA libraries.
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.
NovaBlue GigaSingles™ Competent Cells produce greater than 1 x 10⁹ colonies/μg plasmid DNA for cloning applications requiring high-efficiency transformations.
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.
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(DE3) is a chemically competent E. coli cell suitable for transformation and high level protein expression using a T7 RNA polymerase-IPTG induction system.
Achieve greater efficiency, reproducibility and convenience with Novagen prepared competent cells. 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.
