Excellent
No problem bringing them back to life and inserting plasmids for my experiments.

easy ordering process
Fast easy ordering. They always answer any questions I have. I’ll be ordering from here again.

Life Finds a Way
I had some DH5a carrying a plasmid, but after several iterations of stressing and subculturing, I was unable to drive it out. For the price, this option was a much better use of my time. Despite the product image, I wasn't expecting it to come with a backup; a pleasant surprise! Used this along with some odin ampicillin for transformations and confirmed with controls that they both work.
