efficiencies, please refer to the optimization guidelines. Once the parameters
yielding maximum transfection efficiency have been determined, they should
be kept constant in every experiment using a particular cell line/plasmid
DNA combination.
If you prefer to test or use the QIAGEN Transfection Reagents separately,
please contact QIAGEN Technical Services or your local distributor for a
copy of the Effectene Transfection Reagent Handbook or the SuperFect Transfection
Reagent Handbook, or visit us at www.qiagen.com/literature/index.html to
obtain the handbooks as Adobe PDF files.

* It is important to prepare mastermixes AC in the order specified, since
direct mixing of the DNA with the Enhancer may lead to precipitation.
If you prefer to use a different culture format for your determination,
please contact QIAGEN Technical Services for the appropriate pipetting scheme.
NOTE: For transfection of suspension cells in 6-well format, better results
may be obtained by using approximately 80% of the SuperFect Reagent volumes
indicated in Figure 2.
Cell-culture preparation
Prepare two 6-well plates for Effectene Reagent and label the
wells 1 11. Prepare two 6-well plates for SuperFect Reagent and label
the wells 1222. The day before transfection, seed 0.9 4.0 x 105 cells
