MULTISHOT FLEXPLATE STBL3 EA，C7381201，Invitrogen

MultiShot FlexPlate Stbl3 chemically competent E. coli cells are cloning competent cells that are packaged in a rack containing 12 strips of 8 wells to increase productivity for medium-throughput bacterial transformations. MultiShot FlexPlate Stbl3 competent E. coli cells are designed especially for cloning direct repeats found in lentiviral expression vectors. Unlike TOP10 E. coli, these cells reduce the frequency of homologous recombination of long terminal repeats (LTRs) found in ViraPower Lentiviral Expression vectors and other retroviral vectors. The DNA yield from Stbl3 cells is often >10-fold higher than alternative strains such as TOP10 (see table).

Reduce unwanted recombination with Stbl3 cells
MultiShot FlexPlate Stbl3 Competent Cells are derived from the HB101 E. coli strain and are recommended for use when cloning unstable inserts such as lentiviral DNA containing direct repeats (e.g., ViraPower Lentiviral Expression kits). The transformation efficiency of these cells is greater than 1 × 10⁷ cfu/µg plasmid DNA.

Key features of the MultiShot FlexPlate Stbl3 Competent Cells include:
• Optimal performance for the propagation of lentiviral vectors
• mcrB, mrr for enhanced genomic cloning capacity
• recA13 for reduced occurrence of non-specific recombination in cloned DNA
• High DNA yields

MultiShot FlexWell format—increase transformation productivity
The FlexPlate is a 96-well PCR plate that can be used in automated liquid handling systems or divided into any combination of 8-well segments for flexibility in transformation throughput. Addition of DNA to MultiShot FlexPlate Competent Cells can be done quickly with a multichannel pipet or a liquid handling system. After addition of DNA, the cells can be transformed efficiently by heat-shock using a water bath, heat block, or thermal cycler.

Key features of the MultiShot FlexPlate format include:
• Increase throughput—compatible with automated liquid handling platforms
• Flexible—transform in increments of 8 wells to entire 96-well plate
• Convenient—competent cells pre-aliquoted into 96-well plate, ready for transformation
