Transfection Reagent Selection Guide
Choosing a transfection reagent is easier when you can rely on the work of researchers who have used it before you. During development of each reagent, good transfection efficiency was verified in a variety of cells (as indicated in the product manual). Scientific publications continue to add to the growing list of cells that are transfected well with our transfection reagents. You can view these publications from the links on the product pages. Use the chart below to determine which reagent is right for your cells. For more help on choosing a reagent, review our Introduction to Transfection.
✓✓ = excellent ✓ = good/compatible
