ECOS™ X Competent Cells [DH5α]

Product overview

Description

A superior DH5a strain with a transformation efficiency similar to that of electroporation(~1010 cfu/ug) !

ECOS™ X can be utilized for applications which require very high transformation efficiencies, such as of genomic library construction . The “X” as shown in the name, stands for extreme, meaning this competent cell was designed to exceed and set new limitations! The “X” also represents “10” in Roman numeral; our new product aims to reach 1010 in its efficiency.

Features

  • Super high efficiency comparable to electro-competent cells
  • One step, one tube, finish in 6 minutes
  • Requires no costly electroporation equipment

Applications

  • Efficient transformation of products from routine TA cloning
  • Transformation of minute amounts of PCR products
  • Construction of a more representative gene library
