Combination of TransPass R1 & TransPass V (M2561)

Protocol

  1. In Tube #1, mix plasmid(s) and/or siRNA together.
  2. In Tube #2, add TransPass R1 to serum-free medium.
  3. Incubate the content of Tube #2 at room temperature for 15 minutes.
  4. Add the content of Tube #1 to Tube #2.
  5. Incubate at room temperature for 15 minutes.
  6. Add TransPass V.
  7. Add the transfection complex mixture to cells (in complete growth media).
  8. Incubate at 37°C, 5% CO2 for 24 hours before replacing media.
    Note: Replace media every day, if longer incubation period is required.
