MultiShot FlexPlate DH10B T1R chemically competent E. coli cells are cloning competent cells pre-aliquoted in a 96-well PCR plate to increase transformation productivity. The FlexPlate format can be conveniently divided into 8-well segments for flexibility in transformation throughput.
All of our T1R strains have the tonA (fhuA) deletion in their genotype that confers resistance to T1 and T5 phage. T1 bacteriophage spread rapidly and lyse E. coli hosts, which are commonly used for cloning and library construction. A resistant genotype offers added security to protect valuable clones and libraries. This is especially important for genome and sequencing centers where T1 phage infection would be catastrophic.
Diverse DH10B T1R cloning capabilities
MultiShot FlexPlate DH10B T1R competent cells may be used in a variety of cloning applications as they are resistant to the effects of ligase and ligation buffers and provide transformation efficiencies of >1 x 108 cfu/μg with control plasmid DNA. The cells are ideal for cloning large plasmids and BACs and are suitable for cloning DNA that contains methylcytosine and methyladenine (i.e., genomic DNA).
MultiShot FlexPlate DH10B T1R Competent Cell features
• mcrA, mcrBC, mrr, and hsdRMS elimination of restriction systems to allow construction of more representative genomic constructs
• tonA (fhuA) genotype to confer resistance to T1 and T5 phage
• endA1 for increased plasmid yield and quantity
• recA1 for reduced occurrence of non-specific recombination in cloned DNA
• lacZΔM15 for blue/white color screening of recombinant clones
Increase transformation productivity with MultiShot FlexWell format
The FlexPlate is a 96-well PCR plate that can be used in automated liquid handling systems or divided into 8-well segments for flexibility in transformation throughput. Addition of DNA to the MultiShot FlexPlate Competent Cells can be quickly performed with a multichannel pipet or a liquid handling system. After addition of DNA, the cells can be efficiently transformed by heat-shock using a water bath, heat block, or thermal cycler.
Key benefits of the MultiShot FlexPlate format include:
• Increase throughput—compatible with automated liquid handling platforms
• Flexible 96-well plate may be divided into 8-wellsstrips
• Competent cells come pre-aliquoted in 96-well plates and ready for transformation
