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.
NovaBlue is a K-12 strain ideally suited as an initial cloning host due to its high transformation efficiency, blue/white screening capability (with appropriate plasmids) and recA endA mutations.
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.
