Competent Cells
Thermo Scientific™ DH5α Competent Cells; High Efficiency
High efficiency, chemically competent E. coli cells ideal for construction of gene banks or generation of cDNA libraries using plasmid-derived vectors
Invitrogen™ Subcloning Efficiency™ DH5α Competent Cells
Subcloning Efficiency DH5α Competent Cells are a versatile, chemically competent strain for cloning that provides a transformation efficiency of >1 x 106 cfu/μg plasmid DNA.
Thermo Scientific™ BL21(DE3) Competent Cells
Suitable for the expression of non-toxic heterologous genes. The strain contains the lambda DE3 prophage that carries the gene for T7 RNA polymerase under control of a lacUV5 promoter, allowing expression of the T7 RNA polymerase to be induced with IPTG.

Invitrogen™ One Shot™ Stbl3™ Chemically Competent E. coli
One Shot Stbl3 Chemically Competent E. coli are designed for cloning direct repeats found in lentiviral expression vectors as these cells reduce the frequency of homologous recombination of direct repeats found in lentiviral vectors (ViraPower Lentiviral Expression kits) and other retroviral vectors (instability-prone HIV-based plasmids).
Invitrogen™ One Shot™ TOP10 Chemically Competent E. coli
One Shot TOP10 Chemically Competent E. coli are ideal for high-efficiency cloning and plasmid DNA propagation and are provided at a transformation efficiency of 1 x 109 cfu/μg plasmid DNA.
Thermo Scientific™ DH5α Competent Cells
Chemically competent E. coli cells recommended for routine subcloning into plasmid vectors. Subcloning efficiency cells are not suitable for the generation of cDNA libraries.
Invitrogen™ One Shot™ BL21 Star™ (DE3) Chemically Competent E. coli
One Shot BL21 Star (DE3) Chemically Competent E. coli are designed for applications that require high-level expression of non-toxic recombinant proteins from low copy number, T7-promoter-based expression systems such as Champion pET vectors.
Invitrogen™ One Shot™ ccdB Survival™ 2 T1R Competent Cells
One Shot ccdB Survival 2 T1R Competent Cells are suitable for the propagation of plasmids containing the ccdB gene and are designed for use with the Gateway Vector Conversion System and for propagating Gateway destination, donor, and supercoiled entry vectors.
