Trans2-Blue Chemically Competent Cell is specifically designed for chemical transformation of DNA. It permits a transformation efficiency of over 10⁸ cfu/μg DNA (tested by pUC19 plasmid DNA). The competent cell is resistant to tetracycline (Tet^R) and chloramphenicol (Cam^R).

Genotype
Tet^RΔ(mcrA)183Hte[F′{proAB lacI^q lacZΔM15Tn10(Tet^R)AmyCam^R}]Δ(mcrCB-hsdSMR-mrr)173 endA1supE44 thi-1 recA1 gyrA96 relA1

Features
• High transformation efficiency (>1×10⁸cfu/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. Do not store in liquid nitrogen

Shipping
Dry ice (-70℃)
