Plasmid DNA Tools

The Z-Competent(TM) E. coli Transformation kit is designed to generate competent E. coli cells for simple and highly efficient E. coli transformation. E. coli are grown in SOB medium (supplied with Cat. # GZ-5), washed and suspended in our supplied Competent Buffer. The bacterial cells are now ready for transformations. The transformation efficiency is 2x108-1x109 transformants per g of pUC19 plasmid. The efficiency of transformation varies depending on E. coli strain and plasmid size.
