Description
General description
X-tremeGENE™ 360 Transfection Reagent is an innovative reagent that forms a complex with DNA or RNA and efficiently delivers the nucleic acids into animal or insect cells. With improved utility, X-tremeGENE™ 360 delivers high efficiency transfection in more cell types with low cytotoxicity.
Application
X-tremeGENE™ 360 Transfection Reagent is a high performance transfection reagent, free of animal-derived components.
Designed to transfect a broad range of eukaryotic cells, many cell lines not transfected well by other reagents, and hard-to-transfect cell lines, such as asK-562 and HepG2.
Can be successfully used in a variety of applications, such as gene expression analysis using transiently transfected cells, generating of stable cell lines, expression of siRNA for gene knockdown studies, and CRISPR gene-editing tools.
Produces minimal cytotoxicity or changes in morphology when adequate numbers of cells are transfected, eliminating the requirement to change media after adding the transfection complex.
Suitable for transient and stable transfection.
Functions well in the presence or absence of serum.
Features and Benefits
X-tremeGENE™ 360 Transfection Reagent is a high-performing, versatile and reliable solution for hard-to-transfect and common cell types. As a proven and reliable reagent, X-tremeGENE™ 360 allows researchers to avoid guesswork when performing transfection. In addition, X-tremeGENE™ 360 exhibits:
Peak performance in a broad range of cell types
Suitable for multiple applications
Efficient delivery of plasmid DNA, siRNA/miRNA and CRISPR/Cas9 components
Physical form
Supplied in 80% ethanol and sterile-filtered through 0.2 μm pore size membrane. Does not contain any ingredients of human or animal origin. Number of Tests: Using the standard procedure, 1 mL of X-tremeGENE™ 360 Transfection Reagent can be used to perform up to 10,000 transfections in 96-well plates.
Analysis Note
Each lot of X-tremeGENE™ 360 Transfection Reagent is carefully tested following established quality procedures to ensure that the product is consistently performing according to specifications. During quality testing, cells are transfected with a reporter gene vector DNA using X-tremeGENE™ 360 Transfection Reagent (ratio 3:1 μL/μg DNA). Reporter gene activity is monitored via chemiluminescent detection. Using a standard curve, the total amount of recombinant protein is determined per well in order to meet specification.
Other Notes
For life science research only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.
