Cytofect™ Epithelial Cell Transfection Kit

Transfection, the introduction of nucleic acid into mammalian cells, is a powerful technique used to study in vivo gene function and regulation. The Cytofect™ Epithelial Cell Transfection kit is a plasmid DNA delivery system specifically optimized to deliver DNA into a wide variety of epithelial cells. This kit contains Cytofect-1, Enhancer and Media for transfection and culturing cells. Viral Enhancer has the ability to complex with unmodified DNA via cationic Cytofect-1 and protect the transfected DNA from lysosomal degradation.  This results in high transfection efficiency and viability for these traditionally hard-to-transfect primary epithelial cells.
