Combination of TransPass D1 or TransPass D2 & TransPass V (M2561)

Protocol

  1. In a tube, mix plasmid(s) and/or siRNA in serum free medium.
  2. Add TransPass D1 or TransPass D2 to the above mixture.
  3. Incubate at room temperature for 25-30 minutes.
  4. Add TransPass V to the incubated mixture.
  5. (Optional) Incubate at room temperature for 15 minutes.
  6. Add the transfection complex mixture to cells (in complete growth media).
  7. Incubate at 37°C, 5% CO2 for 24 hours before replacing media. 
    Note: Replace media every day, if longer incubation period is required.
