Transformation efficiency should be greater than 1×108 – 109 CFU/µg pUC19 DNA. Untransformed cells are tested for appropriate antibiotic sensitivity.General GuidelinesFollow these guidelines when using DirectPlate™  10B chemically competent E. coli.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 gently pipetting up and down a few times. 1013-13 1013-36Comparison TestingIntact Genomics has performed extensive comparison testing to prove our DirectPlate™  10B chemically competent cells have the highest transformation efficiency on the market.1015-12 1015-36
