GoldBio’s BL21 (DE3) Chemically Competent E. coli cells are high efficiency cells, suitable for a wide variety of applications such as transformation and routine protein expression. BL21 (DE3) chemically competent cells feature a widely used host background, a T7 expression strain, and are deficient in both lon (1) and ompT proteases. In addition, BL21 (DE3) cells are resistant to phage T1 (fhuA2) and are B strain.

Product Specifications Competent cell type: Chemically Competent Derivative of: BL21 (DE3) Species: E. coli Transformation efficiency: ≥5 x 105 cfu/µg pUC19 DNA Blue/white screening: Yes

GoldBio’s BL21 (DE3) Electrocompetent E. coli cells are suitable for high efficiency transformation and routine protein expression. Increased cloning efficiencies versus typical BL21 cells makes the BL21 (DE3) Electrocompetent E. coli cells ideal for construction of complex expression libraries and feature ≥1 x 108 cfu/µg efficiency with electroporation. BL21 (DE3) Electrocompetent E. coli cells have a widely used background, feature a T7 expression strain, are deficient in both lon (1) and ompT proteases. These cells are resistant to phage T1(fhuA2) and are B strain.

GoldBio’s BL21 Chemically Competent E. coli cells are a good, universal strain of cell that is gives great transformation for protein expression and induction, and is especially useful for non-T7 vectors protein expression systems. BL21 chemically competent cells feature a widely used host background, and are deficient in both lon (1) and ompT proteases. In addition, BL21 Chemically Competent E. coli cells are resistant to phage T1 (fhuA2).

Product Specifications Competent cell type: Chemically Competent Derivative of: BL21 Species: E. coli Format: Tubes Transformation efficiency: ≥1 x 106 cfu/µg pUC19 DNA Blue/white screening: Yes

GoldBio CJ236 chemically competent E. coli cells are ideally suited for use in the Kunkel method of mutagenesis. CJ236 cells have part of their Thymine replaced with deoxyuracil in the DNA due to dut- and ung- mutations which prevent the cells from removing uracil from DNA caused by misincorporation or dCTP deamination. CJ236 contains the F’ gene which confers Chloramphenicol resistance.

CJ236 chemically competent E. coli cells are free of animal-derived products and grown with animal-free media.
