LipoFectMax™ Transfection Reagent is a lipid-based transfection reagent that forms a complex with DNA or RNA, and transports the complex into a variety of adherent and suspension cell lines. LipoFectMax™ Transfection Reagent has been tested to work the same efficiency as Lipofectamine® 2000 Reagent, and used for the transfection of both DNA and RNA into eukaryotic cells even in the presence of serum.
Features
- Superior transfection efficiency for a broad range of cell lines
- Does not require removal of serum or culture medium
- Does not require washing or changing of medium after transfection
- Low cytotoxicity
