Breakthrough Large Scale Transfection Technology Accelerates Cell-Based Assay D...( Reagent-Free Preparative Transfec...),Health

Reagent-Free Preparative Transfection Eliminates the Need to Engineer Stable Cell Lines and Enables the use of Primary Cells for Cell Based Assays and Screening

GAITHERSBURG, Md., April 21 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- MaxCyte announces today the introduction of its ITF Inline Transfection System, a validated platform for preparative transfection, based on unique flow electroporation technology. This system enables rapid and efficient transfection of any kind of cell or cell line with any molecule (plasmids, proteins, protein complexes, drugs, mRNA, siRNA), at scales ranging from micro-liters to liter volumes.

MaxCyte's ITF Inline Transfection System enables transient transfection of cell lines as well as primary cells, and is now available for drug discovery and screening applications. The sterile, closed system provides unparalleled consistency, scalability, and loading efficiency while avoiding the inherent drawbacks of alternative methods.

Many cell based assays and research projects are based on recombinant cell lines. Optimizing such cell lines so they express a desired set of properties and are compatible with a particular screening platform takes considerable time and expense. Because of its ease and speed, transient transfection is increasingly used to replace cloning and recombinant work in a wide range of applications (e.g. ion channel based drug or GPCR screening). The cost-effective MaxCyte ITF Inline Transfection system replaces current preparative transfection technologies which depend on expensive and complicated virus constructs, lipid based transfection agents, or small scale electroporation devices.

The high efficiency and viability of cells processed by the MaxCyte ITF Inline Transfection System make it possible to focus on biologically relevant cell lines, and even primary cells. Inline transfection is also fully scalable. It can be used to transfect 10^5 - 10^7 cells in seconds and up to 10^10 cells in le
