Description Trans2-Blue Chemically Competent Cell is specifically designed for chemical transformation of DNA. It permits a transformation efficiency of over 109 cfu/μg DNA (tested by pUC19 plasmid DNA). The competent cell is resistant to tetracycline (TetR) and chloramphenicol (CamR). Genotype TetRΔ(mcrA)183Hte[F′{proAB lacIq lacZΔM15Tn10(TetR)AmyCamR}]Δ(mcrCB-hsdSMR-mrr)173 endA1supE44 thi-1 recA1 gyrA96 relA1 Features • High transformation efficiency (>1×109cfu/μg DNA). • Suitable for larger plasmids and recombinant products. • Reduced preference for plasmid size, suitable for library construction. • Used in Blue/White selection. Storage at -70 °C for six months Notes Higher efficiency transformation can be achieved by transforming cells immediately following thawing. Avoid repeated thawing. Gentle handling is required for the entire procedure References: Literature Journal IF Author Date Link Identification of genes directly involved in shell formation and their functions in pearl oyster, Pinctada fucata PLoS One 3.5328 Fang D, et al.
