Invitrogen™ Library Efficiency™ DH5α Competent Cells

Invitrogen™ 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

• 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
