Description
GenJet™ DNA In Vitro Tranfection Reagent for HUVEC is pre-optimized for transfecting human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC).  HUVEC is one of hard-to-transfect cell lines partly due to the transfection toxicity related cell death. In combination of GenJet™ Transfection Buffer, the pre-optimized transfection reagent gave up to 60% efficiency. Refer to the following optimal transfection conditions for maximal transfection efficiency on HUVEC. GenJet™ reagent, 1.0 ml, is sufficient for 500 transfections in 24 well plates or 250 transfections in 6 well plates.
