Details
BTXpress Cytoporation® Media T4 is an advanced electroporation buffer designed for use with the BTX AgilePulse MAX Large Volume Electroporation Systems for ex vivo or in vitro delivery of DNA, RNA, oligonucleotides, and siRNA. The low conductivity buffer is specially formulated to minimize heating of solution during large volumes electroporation for maximum transfection efficiency and high cell viability. BTXpress Cytoporation Media T4 is sterile filtered from the highest quality non-animal, medical-grade reagents. Two formulations with different conductivities are available for optimum conductivity for each eukaryotic cell types. Buffer can be directly diluted in complete growth media for post-electroporation cell culture.
FEATURES & BENEFITS
- Optimized for eukaryotic electroporation applications
- Maximum transfection efficiency, high cell viability
- Low conductivity means minimal heating or electrode arcing
- Two formulations available
- Physiological pH and Balanced Osmolarity
- Contains no animal products
- Certified RNase and DNase free
STORAGE INFORMATION
Store at 2-8°C after opening. Short term storage (i.e. for shipping) at -20°C to +50°C for 7 days is acceptable. Contents may separate upon freezing. If frozen, mix well before use.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE
Standard aseptic techniques are recommended to avoid contamination during use. Cytoporation® Media T4 is a solution designed for efficient electroporation. Trace amounts of high conductivity solutions such as PBS or tissue culture growth media can disrupt the electroporation process. Therefore, at least two full washes in Cytoporation® Media T4 are recommended prior to electroporation. While Cytoporation® Media T4 is nontoxic, it does not contain nutrients to support cell viability over long periods of time. For best results, minimize the time that cells are suspended in Cytoporation® Media T4. Post-electroporation, Cytoporation® Media T4 can be directly diluted in cell culture media without washing the cells. A minimum dilution of five parts complete culture media to one part Cytoporation® Media T4 is recommended. Alternatively, cells may be washed in growth media to completely remove Cytoporation® Media T4 prior to culturing.
