BUYING: BL21 (DE3) strain with pET empty pET vector, anyone?

08 August 2015 0 6K Report

Send me a message by clicking my profile > info > Send message.

I am looking for a BL21 (DE3) e.coli train with a pET plasmid for non-specific purposes. No tag is needed, it just needs to have a functional MCS, I'll be cloning different inserts into it.

The companies selling the strains here are too expensive.

Send me an offer including shipping, we are located in Australia, Melbourne.
