Data:

FIG. 1. High throughput test of transfection efficiency (determined as RLU/mg) on B16-F10 cells after transfection of luciferase reporter gene by using our 172 proprietary transfection formulas and several most popular commercial transfection reagents. The yellow box showed the results of 4 commercial transfection reagents. The red lines marked our candidate formulas with the highest transfection efficiency for B16-F10 cells. This test result was confirmed with repeat experiments. The one that showed the optimal balance of potent & low cytotoxicity among those candidate formulas after flow cytometry analysis on the percentage of 7AAD positive cells was later named as this B16-F10 Cell Avalanche Transfection Reagent.   FIG. 2. B16-F10 cells were transfected with GFP vector (pEGFP-N3) by using B16-F10 Avalanche® Transfection Reagent. The cells were visualized by Nikon Eclipse Fluorescence microscope 24 hours post transfection.

For Other Cells:

B16-F10 Cell Avalanche™ Transfection Reagent (mouse melanoma cell) can also be used on the following cells with high transfection efficiencies. Caki-1 Cell MDCK Cell Vero Cell 293 Cell PC-3 Cell AR42J Cell Capan-1 Cell PANC-1 Cell BxPC-3 Cell AsPC-1 Cell Recommended protocols for these cells will be provided with the reagent. The protocols usually provide satisfactory transfection efficiency with invisible cytotoxicity. However, optimization may be needed for certain type of cells. Optimizations may include: the amount of DNA and this transfection reagent; cell density; transfection reagent/DNA ratio, or incubation time for the mixture of transfection reagent/DNA etc. For best transfection result, we recommend using the respective cell type/cell line specific Avalanche transfection reagents. Those reagents have been optimized on both recipes and protocols, and have been proved to have the best transfection results for the respective cell lines or primary cells. You can easily find the respective Avalanche transfection reagents specific for your cells by using the filters of our product list.
