Library Efficiency® DH5α™ Competent Cells
Library Efficiency® DH5α™ Competent Cells are a versatile strain of chemically competent cells that demonstrate transformation efficiencies of >1 x 108 cfu/µg plasmid DNA. Library Efficiency® DH5α™ Competent Cells are ideal for difficult cloning constructions or any application that uses limiting amounts of DNA. Features of these cells:
• Supports blue/white screening by α-complementation on plates containing X-Gal or Bluo-Gal
• Maintains plasmid DNA with minimum recombination events
• Delivers high-yield plasmid preparations for downstream applications
• M13mp cloning vectors may be propagated on a lawn of DH5α-FT™, DH5αF'™, DH5αF'IQ™, JM101, or JM107 for plaque formation
Ideal for difficult cloning projects
Library Efficiency® DH5α™ Competent Cells are recommended for routine cloning of genes into large plasmids, and are suitable for difficult clone constructions, such as blunt-end ligations. Library Efficiency® DH5α™ Competent Cells have a mid-range transformation efficiency
