Takara, 636767, Stellar™ Competent Cells (96-well plate)

Stellar Competent Cells arranged in a 96-well plate for high-throughput transformation. Stellar Cells are anE. coliHST08 strain that provides high transformation efficiency. These cells can be used in a wide variety of applications: from preparation of cDNA and genomic libraries, to construction of longer-length genomic libraries, to subcloning, and even methylated DNA cloning. Stellar Competent Cells lack the gene cluster for cutting foreign methylated DNA (mrr-hsdRMS-mcrBCandmcrA), and are therefore useful for cloning methylated DNA. The cells can also be used for blue/white screening (i.e., α-complementation) when transformed with vectors containing thelacZαgene. A pUC19 vector, SOC Medium, 8-Cap Strips, and a Plate Lid are included. These competent cells are recommended for use with Takara Bio's In-Fusion PCR Cloning Kits.
