Description

XL10-Gold ultracompetent cells transform large plasmids and ligated DNA with highest efficiency. Engineered to transform large plasmids and ligated DNA more efficiently than other cell lines Includes Hte phenotype for 20-fold to 30-fold higher transformation efficiency of ligated DNA and better competent cell performance Chemically competent cells that allow efficient transformation of large DNA molecules, including expression vectors and genomic DNA Ideal for plasmid library construction by decreasing bias against larger plasmids and producing more colonies for a more representative library Transformation efficiency of > 5 x 10^9 transformants/µg The XL10-Gold ultracompetent cells were designed for cloning large plasmids and ligated DNA with the highest transformation efficiency possible, while exhibiting faster growth and larger colonies. XL10-Gold Ultracompetent Cells possess the high transformation phenotype (Hte), which gives these cells an average transformation efficiency of > 5 x 10^9 transformants/µg of supercoiled DNA Plasmid libraries constructed in this strain are more representative because XL10-Gold cells decrease the bias against large inserts.
