1. CAUTION: This product contains DMSO, a hazardous material. Review the MSDS before handling.
2. 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.

1. Can I transform unmethylated DNA into dam-/dcm- competent E.coli (C2925)?
2. Does New England Biolabs offer a methyltransferase free strain of Competent E.coli?
3. How long should I incubate cells on ice after DNA has been added (NEB #C2925H and NEB #C2925I)?
4. Is dam-/dcm- (NEB #C2925H/C2925I) resistant to kanamycin?
5. Is the DNA yield lower using dam-/dcm- strain (C2925)?
6. What are the solutions/recipes (C2925)?
7. What are the strain properties (C2925)?
8. What is the difference between NEB #C2925H and NEB #C2925I?
9. What is the optimal heat shock time for this strain (NEB #C2925H and NEB #C2925I)?
10. Which strain of Competent E. coli should I use for general cloning?
11. Why were the colonies at different size after transformation of dam-/dcm- competent E.coli (C2925)?
12. How should I calculate the transformation efficiency (C2925)?
13. Can I store competent cells at -20°C instead of -80°C?
14. Which kind of transformation tubes should be used?
15. What volume of DNA can be added into competent cells?
16. What is the shelf life for this strain (NEB #C2925H and NEB #C2925I)?
17. Are NEB's competent cells compatible with the “Mix & Go" protocol?
18. How should I store SOC Outgrowth Medium? The SOC I received with my competent cells recommends storage at either room temperature or 4°C, however, when I purchase it as a stand alone product, it recommends storing it at 4°C. Which is better?
