Description
Product Description
ZELLX® SOC Medium is a nutrient-rich bacterial recovery medium formulated to maximize transformation efficiency in competent E. coli following heat-shock or electroporation. It is specifically designed to support rapid cell recovery, membrane repair, and robust outgrowth prior to antibiotic selection, making it an essential component of high-efficiency cloning workflows.
The medium contains an optimized balance of tryptone and yeast extract to provide readily available amino acids and growth factors, along with salts and magnesium ions to support cellular stability and enzymatic activity. The inclusion of glucose promotes early recovery and helps suppress stress responses that can negatively affect transformation efficiency.
ZELLX® SOC Medium is supplied in a sterile, ready-to-use format, eliminating preparation time and reducing the risk of contamination. It is fully compatible with both chemically competent and electrocompetent E. coli cells, ensuring reliable performance across a wide range of transformation protocols.
Manufactured under controlled quality standards, ZELLX® SOC Medium delivers consistent performance and lot-to-lot reproducibility. Its convenient packaging makes it suitable for routine laboratory use in cloning, plasmid propagation, library construction, and transformation-based screening applications.
