A superior DH5a strain with a transformation efficiency similar to that of electroporation (~10e10 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 10e10 in its efficiency.
Features:Super high efficiency comparable to electro-competent cells
One step, one tube, finishes 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.
Efficiency:>5x10e9cfu/ug
Control Plasmid:(pUC19) 5ul (10e4ug/ul)
Storage and Stability:Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing and store at -70°C. Aliquots are stable for 6 months after receipt. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
