DMT Chemically Competent Cell is designed for chemical transformation of DNA, with a transformation efficiency of over 10
8 cfu/µg DNA (tested by pUC19 plasmid DNA). This cell is resistant to T1 and T5 phage, and is suitable for site-directed mutagensis as methylated DNA is digested.
The genotype is: F

Directions for use |
Recommended Protocol: - Equilibrate a water bath to 42 °C. Bring a vial of SOC medium or LB medium to room temperature. Warm selective plates to 37 °C for 30 minutes.
- Thaw 50 µl of DMT Chemically Competent Cell on ice. Immediately after thawing, add target DNA (1-5 µl) and mix gently. Do not mix by pipetting up and down. Leave on ice for 30 minutes.
- Heat-shock the cells for 45 seconds at 42 °C, without shaking. Immediately transfer to the tube to ice. Leave on ice for 2 minutes without shaking.
- Add 500 µl of prewarmed SOC medium or LB medium (without antibiotics) into the tube. Mix well and shake at 37 °C for 1 hour at 200 RPM.
- Spread 20-200 µl from each transformation vial onto a pre-warmed selective plate. Cells that have not been plated can be stored at 4 °C and plated the next day if required.
- Invert the plates and incubate at 37 °C overnight.
- Select colonies and analyse by restriction enzyme digestion, PCR or sequencing.
Note: Higher efficiency transformation can be achieved by transforming cells immediately following thawing. All samples and reagents require gentle handling throughout the entire procedure. |
