Unlock Your Research Potential with Our Premier E. Coli Competent Cells
Posted by Wendy Wise on
Dive into the world of unparalleled genetic research with our diverse lineup of E. coli competent cells, meticulously designed to cater to a wide range of scientific endeavors. Whether you're conducting routine cloning, subcloning, protein production, or specialized applications, our strains are tailored to meet your needs with precision and efficiency.
- DH5α: The go-to strain for routine cloning, offering exceptional insert and plasmid stability thanks to its recA1 and endA1 mutations, and supports blue/white screening.
- HB101: Achieve high efficiency in cloning and subcloning, ideal when α-complementation isn't a necessity for your blue/white screening processes.
- JM101: Perfect for subcloning and plasmid maintenance with its low recombination rate and high insert stability, along with excellent blue/white screening capabilities.
- BL21(DE3): A powerhouse for protein production, with the λ (DE3) lysogen expressing T7 polymerase for high expression levels from T7 promoter-bearing plasmids.
Be sure to look out for our upcoming ATTENU-CELLS (DE3 production strain), promising an advanced level of control over protein expression through inducer concentration.
