Compare TransIT®-mRNA Transfection Kit to Electroporation:

  • Superior Performance
  • Easier to Use
  • Saves Valuable Time
  • Saves Valuable Resources
10X Better Performance using 2.5X Less RNA
Huh7 cells were transfected with 2 µg of a yellow fever virus-luciferase expressing RNA replicon (YFV-luc) using the TransIT®-mRNA Transfection Kit or electroporated in parallel with 5 µg of the YFV-luc RNA replicon using an ECM630 Electroporator (BTX) under optimal conditions. Twenty-four hours later, the cells were harvested and assayed for luciferase activity and total protein content. Luciferase activity was normalized to total protein content to correct for differences in cell number between samples(1).
