Competent Cells

A competent cell is one that can take up foreign DNA from its surroundings through a process called transformation. In molecular cloning, competent cells are routinely used to propagate and maintain cloned DNA in plasmids. ECOSTM chemically competent cells is a revolutionary product, that allows transformation to be finished in 1 minute, 1 step, no heat-shock step, and no SOC recovery required. ECOSTM provide the highest transformation efficiency >5*109 cfu/μg pUC19 with 6-minute protocol.
