ElectroMAX™ DH10B™ Cells are electrocompetent E. coli cells offering the highest transformation efficiencies of > 1 x 1010 cfu/ µg plasmid DNA. ElectroMAX™ DH10B™ Cells are ideal for applications requiring high transformation efficiencies, such as cDNA or gDNA library construction.
• High-efficiency transformation to maximize clones
• Enhanced genetic markers for cDNA or gDNA cloning capabilities

Highest Transformation Efficiency Success
ElectroMAX™ DH10B™ Cells offer the highest transformation efficiencies available with > 1 x 1010 transformants/ µg of control DNA in a 20 µl reaction. These high transformation efficiencies make ElectroMAX™ DH10B™ Cells ideal for efficient cloning of both prokaryotic and eukaryotic genomic DNA and efficient plasmid rescue from eukaryotic genomes. ElectroMAX DH10B™ Cells are also suitable for construction of gene banks, for generation of cDNA libraries using plasmid-derived vectors, and when there is limited amount of DNA.

Note: A high-voltage electroporation apparatus capable of generating field strengths of 16 kV/cm is required.

Versatile Cloning Capabilities
ElectroMAX DH10B™ Cells has the following features:
• Φ80lacZΔM15 marker provides α-complementation of the β-galactosidase gene allowing blue/white screening on agar plates containing X-gal or Bluo-gal
• mcrA genotypic marker and the mcrBC, mrr deletion allows for cloning DNA that contains methylcytosine and methyladenine
• endA1 mutation enables increased plasmid yield and quantity

Genotype:
F-mcrA Δ(mrr-hsdRMS-mcrBC) Φ80lacZΔM15 ΔlacX74 recA1 endA1 araD139Δ(ara, leu)7697 galU galK λ-rpsL nupG
