DNA Transfection Reagent for mammalian cells

GeneJuice^® Transfection Reagent is a proprietary formulation optimized for maximal transfection efficiency, ease of use, and minimal cytotoxicity. This transfection reagent is a superior alternative to lipid-based reagents, as well as traditional techniques including calcium phosphate coprecipitation, electroporation, microinjection, biolistic particle delivery, and complex formation with DEAE-dextran.

Whereas many available transfection reagents are based on cationic lipid formulations, GeneJuice is composed of a nontoxic cellular protein and a small amount of a novel polyamine. The unique chemistry provides several advantages over lipid-based transfection, including:

Highly efficient DNA transfer for both stable and transient transfections
Minimal cellular toxicity
Compatibility with both serum-containing and serum-free media
Simple protocol—no need for media changes
Ideal for high throughput (HT) transfection in multi-well plate formats

GeneJuice Transfection Reagent provides excellent performance in both stable and transient transfection of mammalian cells and is ideal for use with reporter (pMLuc™), drug selection (pTriEx™ and pTandem™-1), vectors.

The 1-ml size provides enough reagent to perform up to 500 transfections in standard 35-mm plates. The reagent is also available in an introductory 0.3-ml size. GeneJuice is supplied as a ready-to-use sterile solution.
