Introduction    (download PDF)                                 (Chinese version)

ECOSTM Competent Cell is the first innovative product of Yeastern Biotech’s R&D team, which strives to bring noble products that make research faster and easier. ECOSTM is Yeastern’s registered trademark in USA, Japan, Canada, Korea, and Taiwan. The name speaks for the merits of this product - E. Coli One-Step transformation. The reverse of this name is SOCE – SOC Eliminated.

 

ECOSTM protocol allows users to finish the transformation within one step and to skip the SOC recovery step. Therefore ECOSTM competent cells are the fastest transforming cells worldwide. The traditional protocol requires recovery step and takes 1 ~ 2 hours to finish, but ECOSTM allows transformation to be finished within 1 minute and the procedures are a lot simpler. Please check the ECOSTM protocol section.


ECOSTM Technology is Patented

Yeastern Biotech Co., Ltd. owns the patent of ECOSTM technology (protocol) exclusively in USA, UK, Taiwan, and France. (Patent No. US 6,864,088; GB2383582; I 229696; FR 2832727, etc.) Under the protection of this patent, Yeastern is the only company that has the right to use the protocol with the claims that transformation can be finished within one minute and SOC is not needed. If any one intends to sell competent cells that use ECOSTM protocol or its similar version, please contact our head office at Taiwan for licensing.


 

ECOSTM Advantage
