The Nucleofector Technology – Revolution in Transfection

Abstract:
The Nucleofector technology is a novel transfection technology for DNA, RNA and other substrates which is especially designed for the needs of primary cells and difficult-to-transfect cell lines. This non-viral method is based on a unique combination of electrical  parameters and cell-type specific solutions. It allows transfected DNA to directly enter the nucleus, even in
non-dividing cells like neurons and resting blood cells. This leads to a significantly shortened time until transgene expression in
comparison to other transfection methods.
