Application

MISSION® ExpressMag® Super Magnetic Kit contains all of the components needed to start enhancing your lentiviral transductions. The kit contains a 100 μL vial of ExpressMag™ Beads, enough for 63 wells of a 96 well plate. These beads bind the lentiviral particles and enable the ExpressMag™ magnetic plate to pull the virus down to the surface of cells thereby significantly increasing transduction efficiency. This product can be used in conjunction with standard sized well plates, T-25 through T-75 tissue culture flasks, and up to 5 cm dishes. The kit has been documented to enhance MISSION® lentiviral transduction of suspension 293T as well as allowing the transduction of primary human cells such as keratinocytes at MOI as low as 1. See the technical bulletin for other cell lines transduced with the ExpressMag™ system.

Caution

Do not autoclave! Clean surface of magnet with 70% isopropyl alcohol.
Magnets should be kept away from magnetic storage devices, such as hard disks, ID cards, and credit cards, and from electronic devices and ferromagnetic materials. Persons with cardiac pacemakers should not work with these magnets.

Protocols

Protocol for Transducing Mouse Embryonic Fibroblasts (MEF) using MISSION® ExpressMag™ Super Magnetic Kit®

This detailed procedure allows you to transduce Mouse Embryonic Fibroblasts (MEF) using MISSION ExpressMag Super Magnetic Kit.

FACS Titration of Lentivirus Protocol

FACS (Fluorescence-Activated Cell Sorting) provides a method for sorting a mixed population of cells into two or more groups, one cell at a time, based on the specific light scattering and fluorescence of each cell. This method provides fast, objective, and quantitative recording of fluorescent signals from individual cells.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
