General description
Application
- Designed to transfect a broad range of eukaryotic cells, many cell lines not transfected well by other reagents, and hard-to-transfect cell lines, such as asK-562 and HepG2.
- Can be successfully used in a variety of applications, such as gene expression analysis using transiently transfected cells, generating of stable cell lines, expression of siRNA for gene knockdown studies, and CRISPR gene-editing tools.
- Produces minimal cytotoxicity or changes in morphology when adequate numbers of cells are transfected, eliminating the requirement to change media after adding the transfection complex.
- Suitable for transient and stable transfection.
- Functions well in the presence or absence of serum.
Features and Benefits
- Peak performance in a broad range of cell types
- Suitable for multiple applications
- Efficient delivery of plasmid DNA, siRNA/miRNA and CRISPR/Cas9 components

Automation is used for many applications to reduce variation caused by manual handling and to obtain reproducible results in high-throughput assays. High-throughput applications, such as knockdown studies or target screenings, often include cell transfection.
Small inhibitory RNAs (siRNAs) have become the focus of interest in many laboratories. For the first time, these molecules offer an easy way to knock down the expression of selected genes in mammalian cells without having to resort to classical gene knockout techniques.
Transfection is the introduction of DNA, RNA, or proteins into eukaryotic cells and is used in research to study and modulate gene expression. Thus, transfection techniques and protocols serve as an analytical tool that facilitates the characterization of genetic functions, protein synthesis, cell growth and development.
This brief webinar provides an overview of what transfection is and the methods that are used to introduce DNA or RNA into eukaryotic cells.
