Transfection Reagents

Bottles of X-tremeGENE™ 360 Transfection Reagents

What are the reagents used in transfection? Transfection is the process of introducing genetic material and molecules, including DNA, RNA, and proteins into eukaryotic cells for gene expression, gene knockdown, and many other applications. Transfection uses various physical, chemical, or biological methods and reagents to facilitate the transfer of the foreign material. Comparatively, bacterial transformation and viral transfection (viral transduction) are similar techniques that are suitable for transferring materials into different cell types for diverse downstream applications. For incremental innovations, day after day, choose transfection reagent essentials that are the foundation of great work, not a variable that undermines it.
