Q:

Is your pmaxGFP control vector supplied with the Nucleofector® Kits suitable for stable expression?

A:

No. This vector is only supplied in our Nucleofector® Kits as a positive control and cannot be used for selection because it does not contain a mammalian selection marker. The only resistance gene expressed by this vector is kanamycin which is only suitable for bacterial selection.
