VB UltraStable™ Chemically Competent Cells

VB UltraStable™ chemically competent cells are designed to achieve high transformation efficiency (>1x109 cfu/ug) and to propagate DNA plasmids with unstable elements such as repeated sequences. Whether you are doing routine cloning or high-throughput cloning, our host cells offer you the comprehensive technical solutions to meet a wide range of cloning needs.

Highlights
  • Lacks the ability to undergo homologous recombination due to the mutations introduced in the recA gene.
  • Suitable for cloning and hosting of lentiviral, retroviral vectors and vectors with repeated sequences and unstable fragments.
  • High efficiency for Gateway Cloning, because the cells lack the functional ccdAB operon.
  • Can produce high quality plasmid DNA due to the endA mutation (the plasmids won't be digested by endonuclease).
  • T1 phage resistant due to the fhuA mutation.
  • Can be used for blue/white screening because it expresses the omega-fragment of the LacZ gene.
