Description
Champion™ E. coli Transformation Kit provides an easy method for rapid preparation of chemically competent cells with high transformation efficiency from fresh culture, overnight culture, or even directly from bacterial colonies on the plate. The competent cell preparation method eliminates the requirement of time-wasting wash step. In addition, preparation of competent cells from overnight culture or directly from bacterial colonies provides flexibility to cloning experiment. The resultant competent cells can be immediately used or stored at -70°C for one year. This kit includes a specialized SMO-Broth™ medium and a unique Champion™ CC Buffer for culturing and preparing competent cells efficiently. Following the simple and quick competent cell preparation protocol from fresh culture, the transformation efficiency is typically ranged from 108–109 cfu/μg transformants/μg of pUC19 plasmid DNA, but varies depending on the E. coli strains. The resultant competent cells can be further transformed using time-saving transformation protocol, eliminating the requirement of heat-shock and recovery steps.
Features
Flexible– fresh culture, overnight culture, 4°C stored liquid culture or even colonies on agar plate can be used for transformation.
Fast and Easy– only few steps for preparation; suitable for time-saving transformation
High efficiency– up to 109 cfu/μg
Personalization– suitable for most E. coli strains

Champion™ E. coli Transformation Kit are specially designed for making E.coli competent cells. Therefore, Champion™ E. coli Transformation Kit is not recommend to used for make other bacterial competent cells.
Most E.coli strains are compatible to Champion™ E. coli Transformation Kit. However, different E. coli strains vary in their ability to be transformed with DNA.
Efficiency of strains and their derivatives is listed below, when prepared with the Champion™ E. coli Transformation Kit.
E. coli strains | Efficiency (cfu/μg) |
JM109 | ~5x108 |
XL-1 blue | ~3x108 |
DH5α | ~5x108 |
stbl 3 | ~2x108 |
BL21 | ~1x107 |
Rosetta 2 | ~1x107 |
*E. coli strains are liquid cultured following standard protocol for preparation of competent cells (at 25°C until OD600 reached ~0.5).
When Champion™ competent cells are thawed dispensed in aliquots and refrozen within 1 min, the transformation efficiency will be 10~20% reduced compared to the first time use.
Using circulating water can reduce the thawing time. Less thawing time shows higher efficiency than long thawing time.
The bending glass rod shows best efficiency and the plating loop show less efficiency than other method. For handle a lot samples at the same time the plating beads are recommended.
One second vortex provides more reliable transformation efficiency (1.1 times compare with mixed by finger tapping)
Heat shock treatment will enhance the efficiency about 1~2X versus non-heat shock method.
For large plasmid (> 6 kb), the heat shock method will significantly improves the efficiency and the recovery procedure also significantly improves the efficiency.
Using proper antibiotics of suitable concentration or using fresh antibiotics.
E. coli cells present high competence when freshly cultured from 1/100~1/20 dilution of overnight culture and incubated at 16~25°C prior to preparation. Higher temperature (37°C) leads to competence decrease.
Temperature | OD600 | Culturetime | Efficiency(cfu/μg) |
16°C | 0.4~0.8 | 12~20hr | ~1x109 |
25°C | 0.4~0.8 | 3~8hr | ~5x108 |
37°C | 0.4~0.8 | 1~1.5hr | ~1x108 |
25°C | 1~2.5 | 4~10hr | ~3x108 |
E. coli cells in liquid culture are higher competent than colonies on plate.
Culture Condition | Efficiency (cfu/μg) |
Liquidculture (fresh or overnight culture) | 108~109 |
Freshcolonies (grown overnight at 37°C) | ~2x106 |
Oldcolonies (4°C storedfor 7 days) | ~5x105 |
Different E. coli strains vary in their ability to be transformed with DNA. Efficiency of strains and their derivatives is listed below, when prepared with the Champion™ E. coli Transformation Kit.
E. coli strains | Efficiency (cfu/μg) |
JM109 | ~5x108 |
XL-1 blue | ~3x108 |
DH5α | ~5x108 |
stbl 3 | ~2x108 |
BL21 | ~1x107 |
Rosetta 2 | ~1x107 |
*E. coli strains are liquid cultured following standard protocol for preparation of competent cells (at 25°C until OD600 reached ~0.5).
To maintain high competence, E. coli should be stored at -70°C. Higher temperature (above -50°C) leads to competence decrease.
Shorter thawing time is more efficient than a longer thawing time. Slow thawing caused by power shortages and unstable freezers will result in decreased efficiency.
Plasmid size affect the efficiency greatly. The efficiency of transforming a supercoiled 2.7 kb is approximately 100 times higher than that of a 10 Kb plasmid (using time-saving transformation protocol). For large plasmids (> 6 kb), standard transformation protocol is recommended.
Heat shock treatment will enhance the efficiency about 1~2 folds versus non-heat shock method.
Bent glass rods show the greatest efficiency, while plating loop shows less efficiency than plating beads. When handling a large quantity of samples at the same time, plating beads are recommended.
Antibiotic concentration is critical to use of the time-saving transformation protocol.
Antibiotic | Concentration |
Ampicillin (Ap) | 20 μg/ml |
Kanamycin (Km) | 25 μg/ml |
Tetracycline (Tc) | 7.5 μg/ml |
Chloramphenicol (Cm) | 20 μg/ml |
For plasmid size <6 Kb, the efficiency of kanamycin selection is usually 3~10 times less than the ampicillin selection. For plasmid size > 6 Kb, the efficiency of kanamycin selection is much lower than ampicillin. We suggest using the standard transformation protocol (with heat shock and recovery steps) to enhance the efficiency.
