Transfection Information
Finding that optimal match
Whether for protein expression, gene expression modulation, or genome editing, efficient, effective transfection relies on an optimal match between the cultured cells, the transfection reagent or equipment, and post-transfection care and maintenance. Get the information you need to get the results you're aiming for.

Application note
This application note provides an overview for the use of Lipofectamine™ MessengerMAX™ reagent is used for high-efficiency transfection of neuronal cell models, enabling improved results and simplified workflows for applications such as genome editing. We also compare Lipofectamine MessengerMAX reagent to other gene delivery solutions and highlight the advantages and drawbacks of each approach.
Transfection protocols—by product
We've collected protocols for all of our transfection reagents (21 in total!) in one spot. Once you've located the reagent that matches your requirements from the list, the protocol is just a click away.
Transfection protocols—by cell type
After you've located your cell line from the extensive list, you'll be able to see the recommended transfection reagent and a link to the protocol.
Performing electroporation with the Neon Transfection System
Learn about the flexibility, simplicity, and versatility of the Neon™ Transfection system--the next-generation electroporation device for highly efficient transfection of primary cells, stem cells and difficult-to-transfect cells.
Lipofectamine MessengerMAX mRNA Transfection Reagent
See why neurons and primary cells can be harder to transfect than other cell types and how Lipofectamine™ MessengerMAX™ mRNA Transfection Reagent can achieve up to five times the transfection efficiency of DNA reagents in these difficult-to-transfect cells.
