Global Competent Cells Market Overview:
Capable cells are routinely adopted in molecular cloning to propagate and maintain cloned DNA in plasmids. Competent cells are E. coli cells that have been specially treated to transform efficiently. These cells have a much higher capacity for binding DNA to the cell surfaces than non-competent cells. Competent cells have altered cell walls that allow the DNA to easily pass through them. Some cells need to be shown up to some electrical or chemical treatments to make them competent. Treatment with calcium ions is the standard method for the preparation of these cells.
