Competent Cells

Spend time making your discoveries, not your competent cells.

E. cloni  10G – High efficiency cloning

• Direct replacements for standard cloning strains (e.g., DH5α™, DH10B™, TOP10, XL1-Blue)
• Optimized for high plasmid yields: T1 phage resistant, endonuclease and recombination deficient, blue/white screening-capable
• Available in a range of high transformation efficiencies (5 × 10⁹ to 4 × 10¹⁰ cfu/μg)

Endura – Reliable cloning of unstable DNA

• Direct replacements for Stbl3™ and SURE strains
• Optimized for maintaining DNA with inverted repeats and other unstable sequences
• Highly recommended for GeCKO CRISPR libraries and other lentiviral vectors^*
• Available as highly efficient Chemically Competent or Electrocompetent cells

* As referenced in the GeCKO Genome-scale CRISPR Knock-Out protocol by Zhang Lab

Phage Display – Create larger libraries; speed discovery

• Perfect for antibody phage display or peptide phage display libraries
• ElectroCombo Pack contains three stains: TG1, SS320, ER2738
• Highest efficiency TG1 competent cells available: ≥4 × 10¹⁰ cfu/µg
• Your only source for electrocompetent SS320 and ER2738 cells
• ER2738 strain is recommended for use with New England Biolab’s Ph.D.™ Phage Display Kits
• Amber suppressor and non-amber suppressor lines for maximum flexibility
