For cultivating recombinant strains of Escherichia coliSOC Medium is used in the final step of bacterial cell transformation to obtain the maximal transformation efficiency of E. coli.
SOC Medium is a rich media used primarily in the recovery step of Escherichia coli competent cell transformations. Use of SOC maximizes the transformation efficiency of competent cells.
SOC is a microbial growth medium used for the transformation of competent cells (E. coli). This nutrient-rich microbial broth contains peptides, amino acids, water-soluble vitamins, and glucose in a low-salt formulation.
