- Overview
  - METAFECTENE® is a polycationic transfection reagent based on liposome technology. The specifically designed molecular structure "proton-sponge" of the cationic lipid ensures easy entry of DNA or RNA into cells by condensing DNA or RNA into compact structures (DNA or RNA-lipid complex).
    METAFECTENE® is provided as a ready-to-use solution. It shows no serum inhibition, which makes it a reagent of choice for transfecting sensitive cell lines.
    
    Highlights
    ·Suitable for DNA & RNA transfection
    ·Suitable for stable and transient transfection
    ·Suitable for adherend and suspension cells
    ·High transfection efficiency
    ·Free from serum inhibition
    ·Low cytotoxicity: transfection solution can generally remain on the cells

    Mammalian Cell Line Transfection
    
    Application Description
    
    Suitable for transient and stable transfection of mammalian cell lines with DNA (plasmids, bacmids), RNA (mRNA, miRNA and siRNA) and modified nucleic acids (antisense oligonucleotides).
    Application areas:
    ·The production of proteins, antibodies and virus (e.g. AAV, adenovirus, lentivirus)
    ·Cotransfectionens of various nucleic acids, genome editing (e.g. CRISPR/Cas9, CRISPR/Cpf1) and gene silencing (gene knockdown)
