Product Description
Squeeze more transformants out of every yeast transformation. This Zymo Research outgrowth medium is a specialized YPD formulation that raises transformation efficiencies by more than 50%, which matters most for library screening, multi-plasmid work and hard-to-transform strains. It is easy to add to existing protocols.
This listing is for catalog number Y1003-100: YPD Plus, 100 mL. After lithium acetate and PEG treatment, cells benefit from a recovery period before plating. Adding YPD Plus to the transformation mixture supports that outgrowth and improves cell survival, producing consistent gains. It is especially recommended for mutant strains with poor growth that resist transformation. Available in 50 ml and 100 ml bottles. LIGHT LABS ships genuine Zymo Research products with knowledgeable support from our Englewood, Colorado team.
Key Features
- Higher efficiency – increases yeast transformation efficiencies by more than 50%.
- Improved survival – supports outgrowth after lithium acetate and PEG treatment.
- Difficult strains – recommended for slow-growing mutant strains that transform poorly.
- Simple addition – supplement the transformation mixture directly.
- Two sizes – available in 50 ml and 100 ml.
