Which promoter can be recommended for transient gene expression in mammalian cells ?

Vectors with a CMV promoter typically work fine for transient protein expression in mammalian cells, like HEK293, CHO or NSO. For insect cells, like Sf9 or Sf21, vectors with insect promoters are required. In HEK293E (EBNA) cells, the use of...

Which pipette tips are compatible with the 96-well Shuttle® Nucleocuvette® Plates?

We recommend using special tips, e.g. epT.I.P.S™ (Eppendorf, Hamburg, Germany) or TallTips™ (Matrix Technologies, Hudson, NH, USA). You can contact our Scientific Support Team for a list of compatible tips, including tips for pipetting robots.

What is the amount of DNA I can use in my Nucleofection® Experiment?

This totally depends on the Nucleofector® system you are working with. While in the 100 µL reaction vessels usually 1 - 5 µg DNA is being used, for the 20 µL reaction vessels (e.g. X Unit, 96-well Unit and HT...

What is the best incubation time for transient gene expression in Nucleofection® Experiments?

The optimal incubation time ranges from 2 to 6 days depending on various factors like the stability of the protein in the medium, potential toxicity of the protein, cell density and stability of the plasmid in the nucleus. To check the timepoint for...

Can I freeze the 96-well Nucleocuvette® Plates?

Yes. Freezing of the plates at -20°C does not alter their properties.

When should I begin looking for the Luciferase signal after Nucleofection®?

The time course of plasmid expression after Nucleofection® might be different from the time course seen with other transfection methods. We recommend looking at different time points and start with the first time point as early as 4 to 6 hours post...

Why is the Nucleofector® Technology ideal for transient protein production ?

For many cell lines in suspension, especially sCHO, conventional transfection methods are very limited in efficiency. For protein production, suspension cells are favored over adherent cells because they are much easier to cultivate. Unlike...

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...

Why is the Nucleofector® Technology ideal for protein production from stable clones ?

The generation of a stable clone often requires six months or more due to selection procedures and adaption to serum-free conditions after transfection.With the help of the Nucleofector® Technology suspension cells can be transfected directly in...

What should I pay attention to when transferring my reporter gene set up from a cell line to a primary cell?

In general the overall expression level differs between different cell types. Don't expect the same level of gene induction when working with primary cells. You might need to change to other DNA amounts or ratios.
