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.
One Shot BL21 Star (DE3) Chemically Competent E. coli are designed for applications that require high-level expression of non-toxic recombinant proteins from low copy number, T7-promoter-based expression systems such as Champion pET vectors.

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.
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.
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.
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 BL21(DE3)pLysE Chemically Competent E. coli cells are ideal for use with bacteriophage T7 promoter-based expression systems such as pRSET and pET.
