Nucleofector Technology Platforms

Nucleofector Technology PlatformsDeveloped in 1998, the Amaxa Nucleofector Technology has revolutionized transfection. Since then Nucleofection has evolved through constant innovation. In 2010 Lonza's Nucleofector Portfolio comprises:

  • The new 4D-Nucleofector System is the most advanced platform offering maximum flexibility in regards to cell numbers and cell status. For the first time this system enables Nucleofection of cells in adherence.
  • The 96-well Shuttle Module is an add-on device compatible with the 4D-Nucleofector System. Connected to the 4D-Nucleofector System it enables higher throughput and convenient optimization.
  • The new HT Nucleofector System represents an independent High Throughput system supporting up to 384 Nucleofection Reactions in parallel.
  • The Nucleofector II Device. Based on the original Nucleofector device, this basic instrument enables transfection of difficult-to-transfect cells in a single cuvette. Lacking the flexibility of the 4D-Nucleofector the Nucleofector II represents the entry level model of Lonza's Nucleofection Portfolio

Transfection Reagents

Transfection ReagentsLonza's individual transfection reagents are optimized for e.g.:

  • Cost effective transfection of standard cell lines

Amaxa Vectors

Amaxa VectorsThe pmaxFP Vectors express novel green (maxFP-Green), yellow (maxFP-Yellow and maxFP-Yellow-m) and red (maxFP-Red) fluorescent proteins. These pmaxFP Vectors can be used to:

  • Monitor gene expression and protein localization in living mammalian cells
  • Generate green, yellow or red fluorescent C- and N-terminal fusion proteins
  • Study gene-regulation by using promoter-less (PRL) versions

The pmaxCloning™ Vector promotes strong, constitutive expression of cloned DNA inserts in mammalian cells.

Amaxa Transfection Control Kits

Lonza's different transfection control kits are developed to assist in setting up your peptide transfection or to establish your siRNA experiments. Check out the Amaxa Peptide Transfection Control Kit and the siRNA Test Kit.
