CAUTION: This product contains DMSO, a hazardous material. Review the MSDS before handling. 2. 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. FAQs FAQs 1. Does New England Biolabs offer strains of Competent E.coli suited for protein expression? 2. What are the strain properties (C2527)? 3. Why are there no colonies or no growth in liquid culture (C2527)? 4. Why is induced protein insoluble (C2527)? 5. Why is there no protein visible on gel or no activity (C2527)? 6. What are the solutions/recipes (C2527)? 7. Can I store competent cells at -20 C instead of -80 C? 8. Which kind of transformation tubes should be used? 9. What volume of DNA can be added into competent cells? 10. What is the shelf life for this strain (NEB #C2527H and NEB #C2527I)? 11. Are NEB's competent cells compatible with the Mix & Go" protocol? 12. What is the difference between BL21 and BL21(DE3) competent E.coli cells? 13. 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? Protocols Datacards Protocols 1. 5 Minute Transformation Protocol (C2527) 2. Protein Expression Using BL21(DE3) (C2527) 3.
