Thermo Scientific DH10B Competent Cells are high efficiency, chemically competent E. coli cells. The DH10B strain is suitable for cloning DNA containing methylcytosine, 5-hydroxymethylcytosine, and methyladenine, allowing both prokaryotic and eukaryotic genomic DNA to be cloned efficiently. These cells are ideal for the construction of gene banks or for the generation of cDNA libraries using plasmid-derived vectors. The φ80dlacZΔM15 marker provides α-complementation of the β-galactosidase gene from pUC or similar vectors to allow blue/white colony screening on bacterial agar plates containing Bluo-Gal or X-Gal.

• High transformation efficiency: >1x109 cfu/μg pUC19 DNA
• Suitable for routine and high-throughput cloning applications
• Allows for blue/white colony screening
• Convenient two reactions per vial packaging
• S.O.C. Outgrowth medium included

Applications
DH10B Competent Cells are suitable for variety of applications requiring high transformation efficiency:
• Efficient DNA cloning both of prokaryotic and eukaryotic origin
• Cloning of large plasmids and BACs
• Ideal for generation of cDNA libraries using plasmid-derived vectors
• Site directed mutagenesis

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Can I store my competent E. coli in liquid nitrogen?

We do not recommend storing competent E. coli strains in liquid nitrogen as the extreme temperature can be harmful to the cells. Also, the plastic storage vials are not intended to withstand the extreme temperature and may crack or break.

How should I store my competent E. coli?

We recommend storing our competent E. coli strains at -80°C. Storage at warmer temperatures, even for a brief period of time, will significantly decrease transformation efficiency.

I'm getting overgrowth of colonies. Why?

Ensure that you are using the correct antibiotic at the appropriate concentration. Additionally, make sure the antibiotic is not expired. If colonies exhibit unexpected morphologies, contamination could be a factor. Check your S.O.C. medium and LB growth medium.

I'm only getting white colonies, but none of the clones have an insert. What can I do?

Here are a few suggestions:

- Small fragments/linkers are cloning in to your vector instead of your insert; to correct this, gel-purify the insert before ligation
- Ensure that the correct concentrations of X-gal and/or IPTG (if vector contains the lacIq marker) are used
- If spreading X-gal and/or IPTG on your plate, allow sufficient time for the reagents to diffuse into the plate
- Incubate your plate for a longer period to ensure full color development

I'm getting no colonies at all on my plates. Can you help?

We recommend trying the following:
- Carry out the puc19 transformation control; this gives you information about the performance of the cells.
- Check plates for expiration and correct media used (LB/agar).
- Confirm that the correct antibiotic and concentration was used.
