Grow'n'Glow High Efficiency Yeast Transformation Kit

Features:
  • high efficiency ( >104 transformants per µg DNA)
  • 125 - 250 transformations
  • easy and quick non-electrical method
  • for linear or plasmid DNA

The High Efficiency Yeast Transformation Kit provides all of the reagents required to perform a non-electrical alkali-cation method for transforming yeast with linear or plasmid DNA. Host cells are made competent by treatment with a lithium/cesium acetate mixture. The entire procedure may be completed in less than 90 minutes and routinely provides a transformation efficiency of greater than 104 transformants per µg of DNA, using YEP24 plasmid DNA. 25 preparations of competent yeast cells can be performed (5 - 10 transformations per prep).

Kit Components:
TE, pH 7.5, sterile solution 275 ml
Lithium/cesium acetate 125 ml
Carrier DNA, 10 mg/ml, sterile 1.25 ml
Histamine, sterile solution 1.25 ml
PEG 200 ml
TE/cation salt solution 50 ml
rich medium, sterile solution 40 ml

Grow'n'Glow Fast and Easy Yeast Transformation Kit

Features:
  • no need for fully competent cells
  • high throughput and high transformation
  • efficiency (approximately 1 x 103 per µg DNA)
  • ideal for analyzing clones in two-hybrid screens

The Fast and Easy Yeast Transformation Kit is designed for high-throughput transformation. It is ideal for cases where large numbers of transformations are required but only a few transformants are needed (i.e. transformation with a single homogenous vector). Thus, this kit is ideal for analyzing "putative positives" obtained from two-hybrid screens. This kit is not designed for high efficiency transformation. However, it is capable of achieving transformation efficiencies of up to 1000 colonies per µg of DNA with minimal hands-on time. (For high efficiency transformation use the transformation kit described above.)
The Fast and Easy Yeast Transformation Kit does not require competent cells prior to transformation. A simple, 5 minute protocol is followed by overnight incubation at room temperature and plating on selective media.

Kit Components:
Transformation solution 110 ml
Carrier DNA, 10 mg/ml, sterile 1.1 ml

Grow'n'Glow Yeast Plasmid Isolation Kit

Features:
  • purification of plasmid DNA from yeast
  • for PCR* and bacterial transformation
  • no phenol/chloroform extractions
  • no alcohol precipitation
  • DNA is eluted with H2O and is ready for use

The Grow'n'Glow Yeast Plasmid Isolation Kit is designed for the isolation of plasmid DNA from yeast cells. It uses DNA purification with porous glass in conjunction with spin filter technology to increase throughput and achieve optimal DNA quality. The isolated DNA can be used successfully in PCR screens and bacterial transformations. The same kit can be used to isolate plasmid DNA from recombinant bacteria for use in any downstream application (PCR, sequencing, restriction enzyme analysis, labeling, etc.). This dual purpose kit is ideal for screening putative positive yeast transformants obtained from two-hybrid screens.

 

Kit Components (for 100 preps):
Yeast lysis matrix 0.4 g x 100 tubes
Alkaline lysis solution 32 ml
Neutralizing solution 32 ml
Spin buffer with porous glass 32 ml
Wash solution concentrate 56 ml
Spin filters 100
Catch tubes 100

 
 

Note: Detailed protocols are provided with the kits.

Y2H Yeast Transformation Kit

Our new yeast transformation kit contains all necessary reagents for high-efficiency transformation of yeast. Carefully optimized components, together with large-fragment carrier-DNA ensure that you will achieve optimal tansformation efficiencies required for yeast two-hybrid library screening. In addition, small scale transformation reactions can be performed, for example when transforming multiple plasmids into yeast.

Protocols are provided for quick standard transformation and for library-scale transformation.

Kit Components:
50% PEG solution 50 ml
50 x TE pH 7.5 2 ml
5M LiOAc 2 ml
Carrier DNA 2 ml
Amount (sufficient for 5 library-scale transformations)
