DNA-In® Neuro TransfectionReagent
FormulatedSpecificallyforNeurons

Developedbytheco-inventorsoftheearlyLipofectamine® products,DNA-In® NeuroTransfectionreagentwasformulatedfromanovelchemistryformaximumtransfectionefficiencyinneurons.Inside-by-sideassayswithtopcompetitorreagentssignificantlyhighertransfectionefficienciesareconsistentlyobservedwhenDNA-In® Neuroisusedto transfect primarycortical, hippocampal orforebrainneurons.Moreover,withlow cytotoxic effectDNA-In® Neurosupportsneuronalsurvivaland neurite extensionpost-transfection.
