DNA Effects on Transformation Efficiency and Colony Output: C2523_fig1
The optimal amount of DNA to use in a transformation reaction is lower than commonly recognized. Using clean, supercoiled pUC19, the efficiency of transformation is highest in the 100 pg-1 ng range. However, the total colonies which can be obtained from a single transformation reaction increase up to about 100 ng.


Effect of heat shock time on NEBExpress competent E. coli transformation efficiency: C2523a  
50 μl of competent cells were transformed with 100 pg of pUC19 control DNA following the provided High Efficiency Transformation Protocol except heat shock time varied from 0 to 80 seconds.


Effect of DNA incubation time on NEB Express competent E. coli transformation efficiency: C2523b
50 μl of competent cells were transformed with 100 pg of pUC19 control DNA following the provided High Efficiency Transformation Protocol except DNA incubation time varied from 0 to 40 minutes.

Notes
  • CAUTION: This product contains DMSO, a hazardous material. Review the MSDS before handling.
  • STORAGE AND HANDLING: Competent cells should be stored at -80°C. Storage at -20°C will result in a significant decrease in transformation efficiency. Cells lose efficiency whenever they are warmed above -80°C, even if they do not thaw.
