Description
The One Shot OmniMAX 2 T1R E. coli strain is an improved chemically competent cell line that can achieve extremely high transformation efficiency of >5 x 109 transformants/μg pUC19 DNA. It offers the highest transformation efficiency of any chemically competent cells in a One Shot format. OmniMAX 2 T1R is a versatile strain, perfect to use in all cloning applications, including Gateway technology and TOPO PCR cloning.
OmniMAX 2 T1R Chemically Competent E. coli cells carry the tonA (also known as fhuA) mutation, which confers resistance to T1 and T5 phage infection. The tonA genotype offers added security to valuable clones and libraries. This strain lacks the E. coli K12 restriction systems (mcrA Δ(mrr hsdRMS-mcrBC)), allowing efficient transformation of highly methylated DNA. The OmniMAX 2 T1R strain has the lacZΔM15 genotype, allowing blue-white screening on plates containing either X-Gal or Bluo-Gal. It also carries the recA1 mutation, which helps reduce the rate of recombination while propagating plasmid DNA, and the endA1 mutation that increases plasmid DNA yield and quantity. The OmniMAX 2 T1R strain contains an F´ episome that can support cloning plasmids with an f1-like origin of replication (phagemids). In addition, the F´ episome carries the lacIq repressor for inducible expression from trc, tac, and lac promoters using IPTG. Importantly, the ccdA gene present on the F´ episome is deleted, allowing negative selection of Gateway vectors as the strain is sensitive to the ccdB gene product.
One Shot OmniMAX 2 T1R Chemically Competent E. coli offer:
• Highest transformation efficiencies of >5 x 109 cfu/μg
• tonA (fhuA) genotype to confer resistance to T1 and T5 phage
• Δ(ccdAB) for sensitivity to the toxic effects of the ccdB gene product, allowing negative selection of vectors containing the ccdB gene (Gateway cloning system)
• Stable F´ episome that carries lacIq repressor for inducible expression from trc, tac, and lac promoters
• Construction of more representative genomic libraries due to the elimination of mcrA, mcrBC, mrr, and hsdRMS
• lacZΔM15 for blue-white color screening of recombinant clones
• endA1 for cleaner DNA preparations and better results in downstream applications due to elimination of nonspecific digestion by Endonuclease I
• recA1 for reduced occurrence of nonspecific recombination in cloned DNA
Easy-to-use One Shot format
OmniMAX 2 T1R Chemically Competent E. coli cells are supplied in the convenient, single-reaction One Shot format. The single-tube, single-use format allows all steps of the transformation protocol, up to plating, to take place in the same tube, thereby helping save time and prevent contamination.
