DESCRIPTION

Z-Competent™ E. coli are premade chemically competent cells used for simple and highly efficient DNA transformation. Z-Competent™ E. coli cells are made chemically competent by a unique method using ZymoBroth™ that completely eliminates the need for heat shock and related procedures. For transformation, DNA can be added directly to Z-Competent™ cells and the mixture spread directly to a culture plate - Mix & Go! Transformation efficiencies typically range from 108-109 transformants/µg of pUC19 DNA) (see figures below), which make the cells optimal for cloning, sub-cloning, PCR fragment cloning, library construction, etc. Premade Z Competent™ cells are supplied as a pack of 10 convenient 100 µl/tube aliquots or in a 96-well format (12x8-well strips) of 50 µl/tube.
 
Z-Competent™ E. coli cells prepared with ZymoBroth™ display fast transformation kinetics and high transformation efficiencies. Figures above show the transformation kinetics for Z-Competent™ JM109 and BL21 strains of E. coli generated using ZymoBroth™ and SOB growth media. Plasmid DNA (pUC19) was used for transformation and the data are the averages of three individual experiments.
