Transfection Enhancer Efficiency - (Apr/30/2014 )

Hi All, 

There are a couple of transfection enhancers available for lipid-based transfection, nucleobooster (BCC), Effectene (Qiagen) and Lipofectamine Plus (Life Technologies). Does anyone have experience working with them? And what is the transfection efficiency and toxicity with these enhancers?

Hi,

 

for siRNA/miRNA as well as for plasmid/shRNA/mRNA transfection I use a new kind of transfection reagent. Its called: Viromer and was developed from Lipocalyx (www.lipocalyx.de).

Viromers are synthetic polymers zero in charge and very gently to cells. Due to an active endosome escape mechanism I get higher transfection efficiency compared to standard transfection reagents.

 

Please find attached some data and information.
