Unlike reversible electroporation where membrane nanopores are temporary, irreversible electroporation creates permanent pores that ultimately leads to apoptosis programmed cell death. Researchers have been using IRE for tumor treatment. Therefore, IRE is not going to be a method used for molecular transformation and transfection.

Clear all filters. Showing 7 of 7 Products. Transformation of bacteria with plasmids is important because bacteria are used as the means for both storing and replicating plasmids. Such cells are said to be "competent. There are two primary methods for transforming bacterial cells: use of chemically competent cells and electroporation. Many bacterial species can naturally uptake DNA from the environment.
However, the most commonly genetically transformed lab bacteria, Escherichia coli , is not. To overcome a lack of natural competence, E. Typically, researchers use chemical and heat shock or electroporation means to transform, although other methods exist. The process of making competent cells introduces pores into the cell membrane which allow they to uptake extracellular DNA more readily.
Once these competency methods are complete, the E. Transformation efficiency is commonly used to describe how well competent cells take up DNA. The transformation efficiency is affected by a variety of factors including the genotype of target cells, plasmid size, supercoiled vs. Given the variety of potential confounding factors, special care must be taken to ensure successful transformation experiments. Most typically, competent cells are used in molecular cloning workflows, protein expression, and any a variety of applications using plasmid DNA.
However, preparing the E.
