GC10^™ Competent Cells 

GC10 chemically competent cells are comparable to the popular DH10B™ strain and carry recA1 and endA1 mutations that aid in plasmid stability and improved quality of prepared plasmid DNA. The GC10 strain allows beta-galactosidase α-complementation for blue/white screening, is ideal for cloning large plasmids and methylated DNA and is T1 bacteriophage resistant.

GC10 Competent Cells are offered as a high efficiency grade for subcloning and generation of cDNA libraries. The transformation efficiency of GC10 Standard Aliquots is 1 × 10⁹ cfu/μg pUC19 plasmid DNA. pUC19 Control DNA is provided.
