High efficiency competent cells from Lucigen
- Direct replacement for common cloning strains (e.g. DH10B, Top10, DH5alpha, XL1-Blue)
- Optimized genetics: phage T1 resistant, endonuclease and recombination minus, blue/white screening-capable
- Wide range of transformation efficiencies (from 1×106 to 4×1010 cfu/ug)
- Cost savings - significantly cheaper than competitor's cells

TG1 Electrocompetent Cells
Construct larger, more complex phage display libraries with highest efficiency cells. This amber suppressor strain can be used for phage display and protein expression.
Key features
- Perfect for antibody phage display library creation
- The highest efficiency TG1 competent cells available.
- Create larger libraries; speed discovery
- Bulk custom dispensing available with all of our phage display cells
Product Details
Competent Cells include Control DNA and Recovery Medium and are packaged as DUOs (2 transformations per tube). Recovery Medium is also available separately. The specified transformation efficiencies are with pUC DNA, unless indicated otherwise.

Endura Competent Cells
Clone and maintain unstable or repetitive sequences and lentiviral libraries with high efficiency. Ideal for GeCKO CRISPR library transformation.
Key features
- Clone repetitive sequences and lentiviral libraries
- Stabilise direct repeats and create lentiviral constructs
- Generate CRISPR-GeCKO-Libraries-Endura lentiviral guide RNA libraries
- Recommended in CRISPR GeCKO library protocols
- Choose electrocompetent or chemically competent cells
- Highest efficiency commercially available cells for lentiviral cloning
Product Details
Endura™ Competent Cells include Control DNA and Recovery Medium, and are packaged as SOLOs (1 transformation per tube) or DUOs (2 transformations per tube) as indicated. Endura Electrocompetent cells are provided in DUOs format only. Recovery Medium is also available separately. The specified transformation efficiencies are with pUC DNA, unless indicated otherwise.
Maintain unstable DNA
Endura Competent Cells are a commonly used strain for cloning sequences that suffer unwanted recombination events in other strains. Clones with inverted repeats or other sequences prone to recombination are commonly found in retroviral genes, and require cells such as Endura to be propagated stably.
Excellent value and efficiency! Switch to Endura cells today and experience a higher level of efficiency and a savings in your cloning budget.
Chemical or Electrocompetent. Whichever method of transformation you prefer, we can give you better efficiency and/or better prices.
