Quality Bio SOC Medium 10x10ml

Description

SOC medium is a ready-to-use solution, useful in the final step of bacterial cell transformation to obtain maximal transformation efficiency of E. coli.

• Without magnesium chloride, needs to be added before use.
• Autoclave sterilized

Applications

SOC is a microbial growth medium used for the transformation of competent cells (E. coli). This nutrient-rich microbial broth contains peptides, amino acids, water-soluble vitamins, and glucose in a low-salt formulation.

More specifically SOC Medium can be used: in the propagation of DH-alpha (of E. coli strains) primarily in the recovery step of Escherichia coli competent cell transformations, and to maximize the transformation efficiency of competent cells.

Recommendation

Immediately before use, add 2 M magnesium chloride to a final concentration of 20 mM (10 mL MgCl₂/L).
