Description
GenJet™ DNA In Vitro
Transfection Reagent for Neuro2A is pre-optimized for transfecting Neuro2A cells.
Refer to the following optimal transfection conditions for maximal transfection
efficiency on Neuro2A cells. GenJet™ reagent, 1.0 ml, is sufficient for 300 to
600 transfections in 24 well plates or 150 to 100 transfections in 6 well plates.
