Transformation Efficiency
1–5 x 107 cfu/µg pUC19 Chemically competent E. coli cells derived from BL21(DE3). Poly-histidine tagged recombinant proteins that are isolated by immobilized metal affinity chromatography (IMAC) are often contaminated with significant amounts of endogenous E. coli metal binding proteins. The protein expression strain NiCo21(DE3) has been engineered to minimize E. coli protein contamination of IMAC fractions: GlmS is mutated to eliminate binding to IMAC resins and three other proteins (SlyD, ArnA and Can) are tagged to enable rapid removal by chitin affinity chromatography.Genotype

Product Notes
- CAUTION: This product contains DMSO, a hazardous material. Review the MSDS before handling.
- 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.

FAQs
- Does New England Biolabs offer strains of Competent E.coli suited for protein expression?
- What are the solutions/recipes (C2529)?
- Why are there no colonies or no growth in liquid culture (C2529)?
- Why is the induced protein insoluble (C2529)?
- Why is there no protein visible by SDS-PAGE or no activity (C2529)?
- What are the strain properties (C2529)?
- Can I store competent cells at -20°C instead of -80°C?
- Which kind of transformation tubes should be used?
- What volume of DNA can be added into competent cells?
- What is the shelf life for this strain (NEB #C2529H)?
- Are NEB's competent cells compatible with the “Mix & Go" protocol?
- 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?
- Is T7 expression subject to catabolite repression in BL21(DE3) and derivative strains?
- What expression plasmids can be used with NiCo21(DE3)?

Information for Non-U.S. CustomersFor European Customers
The NiCo21(DE3) E.coli strain is genetically modified to carry the can::CBD, arnA::CBD and slyD::CBD gene fusions. The CBD (chitin binding domain) DNA sequence originates from Bacillus circulans. As a condition of sale, this product must be in accordance with all applicable local legislation and guidelines including EC Directive 90/219/EEC on the contained use of genetically modified organisms.
For All Other Non-U.S. Customers
The parental strain of NiCo21(DE3) E. coli is BL21(DE3) (derivative of E.coli B, Delbrück and Luria, 1942). Although the parental strain is generally classified as Biosafety Level 1 (BL-1), we recommend that you consult the safety department of your institution to verify the Biosafety Level.
