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 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.
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.
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.

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).
Chemically competent E. coli cells recommended for routine subcloning into plasmid vectors. Subcloning efficiency cells are not suitable for the generation of cDNA libraries.
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.
