ElectroMAX™ DH10B™ Cells are electrocompetent E. coli cells offering the highest transformation efficiencies of > 1 x 1010 cfu/µg plasmid DNA. ElectroMAX™ DH10B™ Cells are ideal for applications requiring high transformation efficiencies, such as cDNA or gDNA library construction.
• High-efficiency transformation to maximize clones • Enhanced genetic markers for cDNA or gDNA cloning capabilities
Highest Transformation Efficiency Success ElectroMAX™ DH10B™ Cells offer the highest transformation efficiencies available with > 1 x 1010 transformants/µg of control DNA in a 20 µl reaction. These high transformation efficiencies make ElectroMAX™ DH10B™ Cells ideal for efficient cloning of both prokaryotic and eukaryotic genomic DNA and efficient plasmid rescue from eukaryotic genomes. ElectroMAX DH10B™ Cells are also suitable for construction of gene banks, for generation of cDNA libraries using plasmid-derived vectors, and when there is limited amount of DNA.
Note: A high-voltage electroporation apparatus capable of generating field strengths of 16 kV/cm is required.
Versatile Cloning Capabilities ElectroMAX DH10B™ Cells has the following features: • Φ80lacZΔM15 marker provides α-complementation of the β-galactosidase gene allowing blue/white screening on agar plates containing X-gal or Bluo-gal • mcrA genotypic marker and the mcrBC, mrr deletion allows for cloning DNA that contains methylcytosine and methyladenine • endA1 mutation enables increased plasmid yield and quantity
