产品信息
NEB 5-alpha Electrocompetent E. coli cells are optimized for high transformation efficiency by electroporation. These cells are ideal for DNA library constructions and all cloning purposes.
重点
DH5α™ derivative
Transformation efficiency: >1 x 1010 cfu/µg pUC19 DNA
Efficient transformation of unmethylated DNA derived from PCR, cDNA and many other sources (hsdR)
Activity of nonspecific endonuclease I (endA1) eliminated for highest quality plasmid preparations
Suitable for blue/white screening by α-complementation of the β-galactosidase gene (Φ80Δ lacZM15)
Electroporation cuvettes and microcentrifuge tubes should be pre-chilled on ice.
Electrocompetent cells should be thawed on ice and suspended well by carefully flicking the tubes.
Once DNA is added to the cells, electroporation can be carried out immediately. It is not necessary to incubate DNA with cells. The maximum recommended volume of a DNA solution to be added is 2.5 µl. Addition of a large volume of DNA decreases transformation efficiency.
Contaminants such as salts and proteins can lower electroporation efficiency. Ideally, DNA for transformation should be purified and suspended in water or TE. Transformation efficiency is more than 10-fold lower for ligation mixtures than the control pUC19 plasmid due to the presence of ligase and salts. If used directly, ligation reactions should be heat-inactivated at 65°C for 20 min and then diluted 10-fold. For optimal results, spin columns (NEB #T1030) are recommended for cleanup of ligation reactions.
Electroporation conditions vary with different cuvettes and electroporators. If you are using electroporators or cuvettes not specified in the protocol, you may need to optimize the electroporation conditions. Cuvettes with 1mm gap are recommended (e.g. BTX Model 610/613 and Bio-Rad #165-2089). Higher voltage is required for cuvettes with 2 mm gap.
Arcing may occur due to high concentration of salts or air bubbles.
It is essential to add recovery medium to the cells immediately after electroporation. One minute delay can cause a 3-fold reduction in efficiency.

注意事项
CAUTION: This product contains DMSO, a hazardous material. Review the MSDS before handling.
STORAGE AND HANDLING: Competent cells should be stored at -80°C. Storage at -20°C will result in a significant decrease in transformation efficiency. Cells lose efficiency whenever they are warmed above -80°C, even if they do not thaw.

How should I calculate the Electrotransformation efficiency (C2989)?
What are the solutions/recipes (C2989)?
What are the strain properties (C2989)?
How should I store SOC Outgrowth Medium? The SOC I received with my competent cells recommends storage at either room temperature or 4°C, however, when I purchase it as a stand alone product, it recommends storing it at 4°C. Which is better?
How should fragments be prepared for assembly using NEBuilder HiFi?
