Agrobacterium electro-competent cells provide the highest bacterial transformation efficiency, along with availability of unique strains.

• High bacterial transformation efficiency
• Available as 50 μl vials
• Quality control is performed following the production of each new lot of product to ensure that it meets the quality standards and specifications designated for the product
• Includes GV3101 electro-competent cells, pCAMBIA control DNA and recovery medium

GV3101 strain (A. tumefaciens) has a C58 chromosomal background with rifampicin resistance and the Ti plasmid pMP90 (pTiC58DT-DNA) with gentamicin resistance. The GV3101 Ti plasmid has the T-DNA region sequences deleted and transformation with a binary vector containing the missing T-region results in a functional T-DNA binary system that allows for transfer of genetic material into a host plant’s genome. Therefore, this system is often used for Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of several dicots such as Arabidopsis thaliana, tobacco, potato, and monocots like corn.
