Competent cells for larger phage display libraries
Bigger libraries, quicker results.
Phage display is a powerful technique for the selection of peptides, antibodies, or other proteins from a library of millions of candidates. However, its usefulness relies on the ability to generate large and diverse libraries of phage-encoded proteins. Unfortunately, many commercially available competent cells are not well suited for large-scale library construction.
