The non-viral transfection of genetic material into cells, also known as gene delivery, is simplified by commercially available reagents and kits. The appropriate method for gene delivery depends on the type of cell and genetic material. Plasmid DNA, siRNA, proteins, and antibodies are transfected into cells using methods such as liposomes, calcium phosphate, and electroporation. Proficient stable or transient cell lines are generated using established cell lines, primary cells or stem cells with the appropriate transfection method. In vivo transfection reagents are offered with markers, such as Neomycin resistance. In addition to basic transfection kits, enhancement compounds can be used to increase the efficiency of the selected transfection treatment. A diverse range of transfection products is available to match the required gene delivery method.
