Can I integrate the 96-well Shuttle® Device into a liquid handling system?

Yes. The 96-well Shuttle® Device is designed in such a way that it is addressable by robot grippers. Furthermore, the software contains the required interface to be connected with the LHS software. However, the practical implementation for each...


Do you recommend a purification method to purify specific blood/immune cell populations before Nucleofection®?

We recommend using negative selection (depletion) because your purified cells are "untouched", not influenced, and strictly not activated.Positive selection may cause increasing amounts of dead cells and could also lead to activation of the cells due...

DNA-purity and Nucleofection®: Can low A260:A280 ratios lead to both reduced transfection efficiency and cell viability?

Yes. To check the quality of your DNA we strongly recommend determining the A260:A280 ratio. It should be ideally 1.8 - 2.0 for a good DNA preparation, but least 1.6.

Can I use the Nucleofector® 2b Solutions and Optimized Protocols with the 4D-Nucleofector® X-Unit or the 96-well Shuttle® System?

No. The 4D-Nucleofector and 96-well Shuttle® System uses specifically optimized electrical parameters and solutions. Five different 4D-Nucleofector or 96-well Shuttle® Solutions are available for primary cells. For cell lines, three...

Can I use a Nucleofector® I or Nucleofector® 2b Device together with the 96-well Shuttle® Device?

No, the 96-well Shuttle® only works in conjunction with the Nucleofector® IIs Device or our 4D-Nucleofector® Device.

Can nicked DNA lead to reduced transfection efficiency in Nucleofection® experiments?

Yes. You should verify the integrity of your DNA on an agarose gel to see if it is degraded. Compare undigested plasmid to plasmid DNA digested with a suitable single cut restriction enzyme to linearize. Supercoiled plasmid will run faster than...

What is the advantage of the Nucleofector® Technology over common electroporation (systems)?

High cell viability and high transfection efficiency with the Nucleofection® Technology are the most prominent features. Nucleofection®, i.e., the transfer of DNA into the nucleus and not only the cytosol, is essential when working with...

What protocol should I use for Nucleofection® of patient derived blood samples, e.g. leukemia or lymphoma cells?

Unfortunately, we do not have a ready-to-use protocol for Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or other blood cell derived cancer cells. The cells often have a chromosomal aberration and show the properties of a cell line. Therefore we suggest to...

I want to stimulate human primary T-cells with anti-CD3 and anti-CD28. Do you have a detailed protocol for this?

Yes, the detailed protocol is part of our 4D-Nucleofector® Protocol for stimulated Human T Cells.For optimal stimulation of the transfected cells we recommend coating 96-wells plates for stimulation [Nunc Immuno™ Plate C96 Maxi Sorp™, Cat. No. 430...
