Lucigen’s E. cloni competent cells share the most useful genetic elements of standard cloning strains like DH5α™, DH10B™, JM109, TOP10, etc. and directly replace them in cloning protocols.  E. cloni chemically competent cells provide the performance researchers need with ease of use—only common laboratory equipment is required.  These cells provide solutions for a wide range of applications at economical prices.

E. cloni 10G Competent Cells. Routine cloning, subcloning, and plasmid isolation with or without blue/white screening.

Choice of efficiency:

  • E. cloni 10G Chemically Competent Cells (> 1 × 109 cfu/µg pUC DNA; (> 1 × 108 in 96-well plates).
    Highly efficient competent cells for routine cloning applications.  Available in one transformation per tube (SOLOs) or two transformations per tube (DUOs).  Also available in 96-well plates (which can be divided into 24-well seqments) for higher throughput.
  • E. cloni 10G Chemically Competent Cells, Subcloning Grade (> 1 × 106 cfu/µg pUC DNA).  
    The best value available anywhere for simple cloning and plasmid propagation.
