MC1061 F- Electrocompetent Cells. A non-amber suppressor strain, identical to SS320 except that it lacks the F′episome. Highly efficient (≥4 × 10¹⁰ cfu/µg) electrocompetent cells for general cloning or Phage Display. Note that as an F- strain, it cannot be used for re-infection by filamentous phage. This strain not included in the sample kit.

• TG1 Electrocompetent Cells. An amber suppressor strain (supE) prepared as highly efficient (≥4 × 10¹⁰ cfu/µg) electrocompetent cells for phage display library screening. These cells are used for phage display and protein expression.
• SS320 Electrocompetent Cells. A non-amber suppressor strain (sometimes called MC1061F\') prepared as highly efficient (≥4 × 10¹⁰ cfu/µg) electrocompetent cells for phage display library screening. These cells have the highest available transformation efficiency of any strain used for phage display.
• ER2738 Electrocompetent Cells. An amber suppressor strain (glnV) prepared as highly efficient (≥2 × 10¹⁰ cfu/µg) electrocompetent cells for phage display library screening. This strain is recommended for use with New England Biolab\'s Ph.D.™ Phage Display Kits.

Custom Competent Cells

Bulk Lucigen cells or your strain of E. coli, made to the highest possible transfection efficiency with custom dispensing! See Custom Competent Cells for detailed information.

ORDER INFORMATION

Competent Cells include Control DNA and Recovery Medium, and are packaged as DUOs (2 transformations per tube). Recovery Medium is also available separately. The specified transformation efficiencies are with pUC DNA, unless indicated otherwise.

PLEASE NOTE: Bulk quantities (10 times larger than the largest retail package size below) and/or custom packaging are available at very attractive prices for all Lucigen Competent Cells. Please contact Lucigen.
