How do I optimize my cell line for transfection?

Posted February 19, 2020


Answer

There are multiple ways to improve your transfection results with a particular cell line and reagent.

We suggest the following:

 

  • Determine cell line transfection resistance

 

  • Older reagent formulations have longer protocols, but more documentation of cell line compatibility

 

  • Suspended cells often require higher densities than adherent cultures

  • Scientific support and assistance from reagent manufacturer
