RapidTrans™

affordable, chemically competent E coli. in a convenient format

Cell transfection & transformation are important to anyone studying the effects & regulation of genes and their encoded proteins. Active Motif offers several innovative tools for these areas of research, including the LightSwitch™ Luciferase Assay System for measuring the functional activity of promoters and 3´UTRs in living mammalian cells, and the novel protein delivery reagent Chariot™, which efficiently transports biologically active proteins, peptides, and antibodies directly into living cells.

RapidTrans™ Chemically Competent Cells

If you’re a busy researcher who doesn’t want to waste time or money, our RapidTrans™ Competent cells are for you. The kit includes high-quality chemically competent E. coli with an efficiency of > 1 x 108 cfu/µg pUC19 DNA, SOC media and supercoiled pUC19 DNA control. Individual tubes (including a 96-tube tray) and flexible ordering options make it easy to perform 1 or 96 cell transformations at a time, eliminating the reduced efficiencies that occur as a result of repeated freeze / thaw cycles.

Why choose RapidTrans™?

  • Freedom to use anywhere from 1-96 reactions
  • No wasted reactions
  • Efficiency of > 1x108 cfu/µg
  • Economical pricing
  • Adaptable to high-throughput use
RapidTrans Competent Cells come complete with a tray of 96 tubes of cells, SOC media, supercoiled pUC19 DNA control and sterile reservoirs

RapidTrans provide everything needed for high-efficiency transformation.
