-
Are home-made competent cells as efficient at transformation as purchased cells?
1 answer-
They can be, depending on the technique used, the expected transformation efficiency and how the cells are handled. For special applications, competent cells prepared in-house using standard methods may not provide the efficiency you need.

-
Can I re-freeze the vial if I do not use the entire aliquot of competent cells?
1 answer-
Re-freezing competent cells will result in a decrease in their transformation efficiency. If the cells are frozen first in a dry ice / ethanol bath before placement in the -80C freezer, the loss will be about two-fold. If placed directly in the -80C freezer, the loss in transformation efficiency is about five to ten-fold.

How should I thaw the competent cells?
1 answer-
Competent cells should be thawed on ice. The transformation efficiency is dependent on the proper handling of the cells (maintaining cold temperature until transformation).

-
Are all competent cells suitable for both plasmid production and protein expression?
1 answer-
No. Most strains of competent cells are suitable for producing plasmid DNA that will be used to transfect insect or mammalian cells for expression of the protein. The BL21 competent cell strains have special traits enabling protein expression in bacteria.

-
Competent cells were left on ice overnight - can they still be used?
1 answer-
Competent cells left on ice, or allowed to come to room temperature slowly will suffer a dramatic loss in transformation efficiency. We recommend thawing a new aliquot of competent cells.

-
-
Can I grow more competent cells from the stock I purchased?
1 answer-
Generally, no, because the future generations of cells lose their competency.
Helpful?
-
-
Can I store the competent cells in the -20C?
1 answer-
No. Competent cells should not be stored at -20C for any length of time. The cells suffer a dramatic drop in transformation efficiency when stored higher than -80C.
Helpful?
-
-
What DNA purity do I need for use in transformation?
1 answer-
The DNA used should be high quality - free from phenol, proteins, detergents, and ethanol. Dissolve the DNA in sterile water or 0.5x TE buffer (5 mM Tris-HCl, 0.5 mM EDTA).
