FAQ: Are NEB's competent cells compatible with the “Mix & Go" protocol?

There is a “ Mix and Go" protocol that provides a quick way to transform your cells by simply adding plasmid to cells and plating. No heat shock step is required. NEB has tested our competent cells in this protocol against another company's “Mix & Go” product. We have observed both will produce similar numbers of colonies; however, the NEB colonies are larger in size using the same incubation period.
