SOC MEDIUM Usage And Synthesis

Uses

For cultivating recombinant strains of Escherichia coliSOC Medium is used in the final step of bacterial cell transformation to obtain the maximal transformation efficiency of E. coli.

Uses

SOC Medium is a rich media used primarily in the recovery step of Escherichia coli competent cell transformations. Use of SOC maximizes the transformation efficiency of competent cells.

General Description

SOC is a microbial growth medium used for the transformation of competent cells (E. coli). This nutrient-rich microbial broth contains peptides, amino acids, water-soluble vitamins, and glucose in a low-salt formulation.
