Description
GenJet™ DNA In Vitro Tranfection Reagent for CHO is pre-optimized for transfecting Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells. Refer to the following optimal transfection conditions for maximal transfection efficiency on CHO cells. GenJet™ reagent, 1.0 ml, is sufficient for 300 to 600 transfections in 24 well plates or 50 to 100 transfections in 6 well plates.
Summary of Optimal Transfection Conditions:
Confluence on the day of transfection
Cell culture conditions
GenJet™ (µl) : DNA (µg) Ratio
Diluent for DNA and Transfection Reagent
Incubation Time to Form GenJet™/DNA Complex
Presence of Serum/Antibiotics during Transfection
Change Medium After Transfection
