Cytofect™ Transfection Kits are plasmid DNA delivery systems specifically optimized to deliver DNA into a wide variety of cell types with high efficiency. Below, selected Cytofect-Transfection Kits were validated by transfecting cells with GFP-expression plasmid.  Images show highly efficient uptake of DNA, as evidenced by visualization of green fluorescent protein.
