Phage Competent Cells to Streamline Phage Display

Published April 07, 2015

hage-Competentâ„¢ cells are concentrated stabilized bacterial cells with multiple applications in phage display. These cells can undergo multiple freeze-thaw cycles without losing their titer and can be expanded without latency to generate large volumes of cells ready for transduction. Phage infectivity is usually equal or higher than infectivity measured on bacteria freshly prepared and transduction gives more reliable and reproducible numbers of cfu and pfu. Today we are pleased to make TG1 and SS320 cells available under this new format.
