Are rat and mouse hepatocytes transfected by Nucleofection® still functional?

Yes, transfected mouse hepatocytes show albumin synthesis rates comparable to those of untransfected cells. Moreover the morphology and polarization of rat hepatocytes is not affected by Nucleofection®.

What is the lowest amount of Human Hepatocytes that can be used with the 96-well Shuttle® System or the 4D-Nucleofector® X-Unit?

Human hepatocytes do not like to be cultured and transfected at low densities. Therefore, using less than 100,000 cells per Nucleofection® is not recommended.

Do I need to heat inactivate the FBS contained in the SingleQuots™ Kit?

No, we do not recommend heat inactivating the FBS provided in the SingleQuots™ Kit. Heat inactivating the serum can alter cell performance and denature essential components in the serum.

For hepatocytes, is plating density a concern post Nucleofection®?

Yes, the optimized protocols for the standard Nucleofector® recommend the use of 6 well plates. Plating into a 12-well plate will pose a problem as less cells will attach at high densities.

What is the advantage of using conductive polymer as electrode material for the 4D-Nucleofector® X-Unit and 96-well Unit?

With conductive polymer electrodes the release of metal ions into the cell suspension is avoided. Conductive polymer electrode Nucloecuvette® Vessels are used in the 4D-Nucleofector® X-Unit and 96-well Unit?

Do you recommend positive selection or depletion for the purification of Human monocytes for Nucleofection®?

We only recommend the depletion method. For Example, the RosetteSep™ Isolation Kit for human monocytes [Stem Cell Technologies, Cat. No 15028]. The advantage of depletion is that the monocytes are left untouched by antibodies during the process.

Can I also use the Lucetta® 2 Luminometer for other assays besides the MycoAlert® Mycoplasma Detection Assay?

Yes. In addition to the tailor-made MycoAlert® Mode it also has a "Single Read" mode which is suited for unprocessed luminescence readings, e.g. ATP-based cell proliferation or cytotoxicity assays, or Luciferase reporter gene assays.

Do we know the severity of the asthma or the genotype of the cystic fibrosis donors?

Generally, information on the severity of asthma is not available. For our diseased cells from donors with cystic fibrosis, we usually have information on the genotype of the donor. Please contact our scientific support department for further...

How do I promote keratinocyte terminal differentiation towards corneocytes?

Keratinocyte differentiation can be induced by increasing the concentration of calcium and/or by adding serum to the media. Cells should be initially plated using the standard culture media and conditions and allowed ample time to recover from...
