RapidTrans™ are high-efficiency competent E. coli supplied in a 96-tube tray. This convenient format gives you the freedom to perform from 1 to 96 transformations at a time, without thawing more tubes of cells than needed. Thus, RapidTrans eliminates the reduced efficiencies that occur as a result of repeated freezing and thawing and makes possible high-throughput transformation.
RapidTrans Competent E. coli are consistently high quality, with an efficiency of > 1 x 108 cfu/µg pUC19 DNA. They are provided complete with SOC media, supercoiled pUC19 DNA control and sterile reservoirs for use with multi-channel pipettors.
RapidTrans advantages
- Freedom to use anywhere from 1-96 reactions
- No wasted reactions
- Efficiency of > 1x108 cfu/µg
- Economical pricing
- Adaptable to high-throughput use
