- Description Intact Genomics TG1 Phage Display ElectroCompetent Cells are suitable for protein expression and preparation of antibody or peptide phage display libraries. Specifications Competent cell type: ElectroCompetent Species: E. coli Format: Tubes Transformation efficiency: ≥4 x 1010 cfu/µg pUC19 DNA Blue/white screening: Yes Shipping condition: Dry ice Reagents Needed for One Reaction TG1 phage display electrocompetent cells: 25 µl DNA (or pUC19 Control, 10 pg/µl): 1 µl Recovery medium: 1 ml Storage TG1 phage display electrocompetent cells: -80 ºC pUC19 control DNA: -20 ºC Recovery medium: 4ºC Genomic Features Intact Genomics TG1 phage display electrocompetent cells have the following features: ≥4 x 1010cfu/µg efficiency with electroporation. Amber suppressor strain (supE) Genotype F’ [traD36 proAB lacIq lacZΔM15] supE thi-1 Δ(mcrB-hsdSM)5(rK-mK-) Δ(lac-proAB) Quality Control Transformation efficiency is tested by using the pUC19 control DNA supplied with the kit and using the protocol given below. Transformation efficiency should be ≥4 x 1010 CFU/µg pUC19 DNA. Untransformed cells are tested for appropriate antibiotic sensitivity. General Guidelines Follow these guidelines when using Intact Genomics TG1 phage display electrocompetent cells: Handle competent cells gently as they are highly sensitive to changes in temperature or mechanical lysis caused by pipetting. Thaw competent cells on ice and transform cells immediately following thawing. After adding DNA, mix by tapping the tube gently. Do not mix cells by pipetting or vortexing. Note: A high-voltage electroporation apparatus such as BioRad Gene Pulser II #165-2105, capable of generating field strengths of 16 kV/cm is required. Calculation of Transformation Efficiency Transformation Efficiency (TE) is defined as the number of colony-forming units (cfu) produced by transforming 1µg of the plasmid into a given volume of competent cells. TE = Colonies/µg/Dilution Transform 1 µl of (10 pg/µl) pUC19 control plasmid into 50 µl of cells and add 950 µl of Recovery Medium. Dilute 10 µl of this in 990 µl of Recovery Medium and plate 50 µl. Count the colonies on the plate the next day. If you count 100 colonies, the TE is calculated as follows: Colonies = 100 µg of DNA = 0.00001 Dilution = 50/1000 x 10/1000 = 0.0005 TE = 100/.00001/.0005 = 2.0×10101163-12 1163-24 1264-24 1264-48Click the IG® Calculator to Find Your Transformation Efficiency
