A workhorse for your gene delivery applications.
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 (for over-expression) and HuSH-29 constructs (shRNA for expression knock-down) in many different cell types. TurboFectin 8.0 has also been optimized and is the preferred reverse transfection reagent in GFC-Transfection Arrays.

Application Guide

  • High efficiency: Comparable with the leading brand FuGENE®6
  • Low toxicity: Comparable with the leading brand FuGENE®6
  • Simplified use: Works well in media containing antibiotic and antimycotic agents. Suitable for serum-containing media; no requirement for media changes.
  • Wide spectrum: Over 100 cell lines and primary cell types have been successfully transfected with TurboFectin 8.0 (Click for list)
  • Affordability: One mL of TurboFectin 8.0 can typically be used for 500 transfections of 6-well plate cultures. The cost is less than $0.50 per transfection.

A luciferase-expression plasmid was transfected into HEK293 cells with various transfection reagents at the indicated ratio. Forty-eight hours post transfection, the luciferase activities were quantified.
