CYTF01 is GenFectin, a gene transfection reagent built on a patented cationic polymer. It forms stable complexes with DNA, protects DNA from nucleases and raises the efficiency of complexes crossing the cell membrane. Serum and antibiotics do not affect transfection, and complexes are added straight to complete culture medium.
Catalog no. CYTF01 · For research use only

GenFectin Gene Transfection Reagent FAQ
Does serum interfere?
No. Transfection works in serum-containing or serum-free medium and antibiotics do not affect it. Complexes can be added directly to complete medium.
What cells can I use?
Many primary cultured cells and transformed cell lines, adherent or suspension; efficiency varies by cell type.
How toxic is it?
Low. At the recommended amount and suitable conditions, cell survival is above 90%.
