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.
RosettaBlue host strains are NovaBlue derivatives that combine high transformation efficiency and with enhanced expression of eukaryotic proteins that contain codons rarely used in E. coli.
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.
Rosetta-gami B strains combine the key features of BL21, Origami, and Rosetta to enhance the expression of eukaryotic proteins. Contains the pLacI plasmid producing extra Lac repressor.
GSA/VA Contract Available on GSA/VA contract for Federal Government customers. Learn More
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.
Rosetta strains are BL21 derivatives designed to enhance the expression of eukaryotic proteins that contain codons rarely used in E. coli. Contains the pLacI plasmid producing extra Lac repressor.
Tuner host strains are lacZY deletion mutants of BL21, which enable adjustable levels of protein expression throughout all cells in a culture. Contains the pLacI plasmid producing extra Lac repressor.
HMS174 strains provide high transformation efficiencies and the recA mutation in a K-12 background. T7 lysozyme expression suppresses basal T7 expression.
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.
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).
