Can I use the settings recommended for the Nucleofector® I/II or 2b System with my 4D-Nucleofector® System?

No, the 4D-Nucleofector® is optimized for conductive polymer electrodes, while the Nucleofector® I/II or 2b System is working with electrodes made of aluminium.We recommend doing a quick cell line optimization using our Cell Line...

Do you have any recommendation how to coat glass cover slips for neuron culture, e.g. for use with the Y unit or for post Nucleofection® culture in general?

Preparation of coverslips: At Lonza we used coverslips from Menzel (part of Thermo Scientific). We think that the coverslips have such a good quality that they don’t have to be cleaned prior to use.If you want to use other coverslips or prefer...

Can I reuse the 100µl Nucleocuvette® Vessel?

We do not recommend reusing the conductive polymer cuvettes as performance decreases when cuvettes are used more than once.

How many cells do I have to use for each well of the 16-well Nucleocuvette® Strip?

This depends on the cell type you are working with. In our Optimized Protocols the cell numbers range from 2.5 x 10^4 cells (mouse DC) up to 1x 10^6 cells (human T cells). Detailed information is provided in our 4D-Nucleofector® Optimized Protocols.

Do I have to apply the same program to each well of the 16-well Nucleocuvette®?

No, each well can be addressed separately. You may apply up to 16 different programs to one 16-well Nucleocuvette® Strip.

Can you use the AdipoRed Assay on cells other than preadipocytes?

Yes, the AdipoRed™ Assay Reagent can be used on many other cell types that accumulate triglycerides. It may have to be optimized for specific applications depending on the lipid that is stained.

Where are Lonzas Human Skeletal Muscle Myoblasts (HSMM) cells isolated from?

The Human Skeletal Muscle Myoblasts are sourced from normal post-gestational tissue of cadavers from 1 day to 40 years old. The HSMMs are isolated from the quadriceps or psoas muscle.

How many 100 µl Nucleocuvettes® can be transfected in parallel using the 4D-Nucleofector® System?

The 4D-Nucleofector® X Unit can work with two 100µl Nucleocuvettes® in parallel. However, the operation software allows defining up to 50 Nucleocuvettes® per experiment. These cuvettes will be transfected by the system continuously in...

Does the recommended media for each of the diabetic cells contain glucose?

The recommended media does contain glucose. Please contact Scientific Support for glucose concentrations. 

How can Lonzas Human Skeletal Muscle Myoblasts (HSMM) be differentiated to produce desmin? 

Human Skeletal Muscle Myoblasts usually begin to form multinucleated myotubes when the culture reaches 50-70% confluence. Myotubes are formed by the fusion of several to many myoblasts. Addition of differentiation medium, when the culture reaches...
