Competent Cells

The fastest transforming cells worldwide-

1 minute transformation

With “ECOS™” standing for “E.Coli One-Step”, and its reverse “SOCE” standing for “SOCEliminated”, the name itself speaks for the advantages.

1 minute,1 step high-efficiency transformation and no SOC recovery step required, truly a design to save your time.

  • ECOS 101 1-Step Competent Cells [DH5a, 10x100ul]

    ECOS 101 1-Step Competent Cells [DH5a, 10x100ul]

    DH5α is the most popular E. coli strain for everyday cloning applications. It supports blue/white screening for easy selection of recombinant DNA with X-Gal. In addition, DH5α carries recA1 mutation that eliminates homologous recombination ensuring insert stability. It also carries endA1 mutations that greatly improve the quality of plasmid DNA and yield prepared from mini-prep. It is useful for the transformation of large plasmids and two-hybrid systems (up to 40 kb). Features Suitable for cloning with large plasmid and cDNA library construction, and also allows for blue-white colony screening.

  • ECOS 21 1-Step Competent Cells [BL21, 10x100ul]

    ECOS 21 1-Step Competent Cells [BL21, 10x100ul]

    This strain provides high levels of protein expression. This strain carries the lambda DE3 lysogen, which expresses T7 RNA polymerase from the lacUV5 promoter by isopropyl-1-thio-ß-D-galactopyranoside (IPTG) induction. The transformation efficiency of BL-21 is usually low, so the 6 minute/ heat shock cold plating protocol is recommended if high efficiency is desired. Genotype F– ompT gal dcm lon hsdSB(rB– mB–) λ(DE3 [lacI lacUV5-T7 gene 1 ind1 sam7 nin5]) Features Lack of Lon and Omp proteases allows high-level protein expression and accumulation Easy gene induction Applications IPTG induced gene expression in E. coli Ideal for high-level expression of non-toxic recombinant protein expression using T7-based expression vectors Subcloning Store At: ***** Warning !

    ECOS 2163 1-Step Competent Cells [GM2163, 10x100ul]

    GM2163 is an E. coli K12 strain, which is deficient in both dam and dcm genes, is suitable for the propagation of plasmid or cloned DNA to be cut with Dam or Dcm-sensitive restriction enzymes. This strain is not recommended as a host for primary cloning/ligation since the dam mutation can result in higher mutation rates and a reduction in the transformation efficiency.
