One Shot TOP10 Chemically Competent E. coli are ideal for high-efficiency cloning and plasmid DNA propagation and are provided at a transformation efficiency of 1 x 109 cfu/μg plasmid DNA.
Invitrogen™ Subcloning Efficiency™ DH5α Competent Cells
Subcloning Efficiency DH5α Competent Cells are a versatile, chemically competent strain for cloning that provides a transformation efficiency of >1 x 106 cfu/μg plasmid DNA.
Invitrogen™ One Shot™ Stbl3™ Chemically Competent E. coli
One Shot Stbl3 Chemically Competent E. coli are designed for cloning direct repeats found in lentiviral expression vectors as these cells reduce the frequency of homologous recombination of direct repeats found in lentiviral vectors (ViraPower Lentiviral Expression kits) and other retroviral vectors (instability-prone HIV-based plasmids).
Thermo Scientific™ BL21(DE3) Competent Cells
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.
Thermo Scientific™ DH5α Competent Cells; High Efficiency
High efficiency, chemically competent E. coli cells ideal for construction of gene banks or generation of cDNA libraries using plasmid-derived vectors
Thermo Scientific™ DH5α Competent Cells
Chemically competent E. coli cells recommended for routine subcloning into plasmid vectors. Subcloning efficiency cells are not suitable for the generation of cDNA libraries.
Thermo Scientific™ DH10B Competent Cells; High Efficiency
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.
Invitrogen™ One Shot™ BL21(DE3) Chemically Competent E. coli
One Shot BL21(DE3) Chemically Competent E. coli cells are ideal for use with bacteriophage T7 promoter-based expression systems such as pRSET and pET.
Invitrogen™ MAX Efficiency™ DH5α Competent Cells
MAX Efficiency™ DH5α Competent Cells are a well-known, versatile strain that is used in many everyday cloning applications. Prepared by a proprietary modification of the Hanahan method, these cells are suitable for high efficiency transformations in applications where low amount of DNA is used or to construct libraries using plasmid-derived vectors.
Invitrogen™ One Shot™ ccdB Survival™ 2 T1R Competent Cells
One Shot ccdB Survival 2 T1R Competent Cells are suitable for the propagation of plasmids containing the ccdB gene and are designed for use with the Gateway Vector Conversion System and for propagating Gateway destination, donor, and supercoiled entry vectors.
Invitrogen™ One Shot™ Mach1™ T1 Phage-Resistant Chemically Competent E. coli
One Shot Mach1 T1 Phage-Resistant Chemically Competent E. coli are the fastest growing chemically competent cells with a doubling time approximately 50 minutes.
Invitrogen™ Library Efficiency™ DH5α Competent Cells
Library Efficiency DH5α Competent Cells are a versatile strain of chemically competent cells that are used in many everyday cloning applications.
MilliporeSigma™ Novagen™ Rosetta™ 2(DE3)pLysS Singles™ Competent Cells
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.
MilliporeSigma™ Novagen™ NovaBlue(DE3) Competent Cells
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.
Invitrogen™ One Shot™ INV110 Chemically Competent E. coli
One Shot INV110 Chemically Competent E. coli cells are derived from the JM110 strain and are specifically designed for the growth and purification of plasmid DNA that will be digested with dam or dcm methylation-sensitive restriction enzymes.
