What are the advantages of Xfect Transfection Reagent compared to other protein delivery technologies?
The two technologies most frequently used for protein delivery are based on lipids and cell-penetrating peptides. Transfection with lipid-based reagents tends to result in high cytotoxicity, while peptide-based reagents transfect with low efficiency. Xfect Protein Transfection Reagent offers the best advantages of both (i.e., it retains low cytotoxicity and delivers more protein to a higher percentage of target cells). Moreover, this reagent can transfect cells that are growing at a higher density than competing products, which is important because assays are often performed within a few hours post-transfection, and the higher cell densities ensure sufficient material for downstream analysis.
