Accelerate your Research with the new Nucleofector 96-well Shuttle System
- Target validation in primary cells
- High throughput generation of stable clones
- Protein production in suspension cell lines
Based on the well-established Nucleofector technology amaxa has developed a system for the highly efficient transfection of primary cells and difficult-to-transfect cell lines in 96-well format. The Nucleofector 96-well Shuttle System consists of three components, the 96-well Shuttle, the Nucleofector II Device and a laptop. Driven by the Nucleofector II, the 96-well Shuttle can deliver DNA directly into the nucleus, allowing even non-dividing primary cells (such as resting T cells or neurons) to be efficiently transfected. siRNA delivery into the cytoplasm, on the other hand, also occurs with up to 99% efficiency. Optimal nucleofection conditions depend upon the individual cell type, not on the substrate being transfected. This means that identical conditions are used for the nucleofection of DNA, siRNA or shRNA vectors. So it is a simple matter to switch back and forth between substrates or to perform co-transfections with DNA and RNA together.
