High Performance Transfection with TurboFectin 8.0

The ultimate in high efficiency and low toxicity!

TurboFectin 8.0 is a new generation of transfection reagent optimized for nucleic acid delivery into eukaryotic cells. Its proprietary formulation of lipid/histone blend is supplied in 80% alcohol. TurboFectin 8.0 is the recommended transfection reagent for delivery of TrueClone/TrueORF Clone (for over-expression) and HuSH-29 constructs (shRNA for expression knock-down) in many different cell types.

  • Wide spectrum: validated on > 100 cell lines and primary cell types (Click for list).
  • Recommended for shRNA-induced silencing (click for data).
  • Preferred reagent for reverse transfection assays.
  • Simplified use: Works well in media containing antibiotic and antimycotic agents. Suitable for serum-containing media; no requirement for media change.
  • Affordability: One mL can be used for 300-500 transfections of 6-well plate cultures, < $0.90 per transfection.
