The Mix & Go! E. coli strains are premade, chemically competent cells for simple and highly efficient DNA transformation. Mix & Go! E. coli cells are made chemically competent by a method that completely eliminates the need for heat shocking and related procedures. For transformation, simply mix DNA with cells and then spread onto solid medium − Mix & Go! The premade Mix & Go! competent cells are highly efficient (> 108 transformants/ µg pUC19) and can be used for cloning, sub-cloning, PCR fragment cloning, library construction, etc.

Additional Info | Partly restriction-deficient; good strain for cloning repetitive DNA (recA-). Suppresses many amber mutations when glutamine is available but not the S100 or S7 mutation of λ, e.g.,λgt11. Can be used for M13 cloning/sequencing and blue/white screening. | ||||||
