NeuroMag



Neuron specific transfection reagent

NeuroMag is the first dedicated Magnetofection transfection reagent for neurons. It is perfect for primary neurons and can also be used with cell lines and glial cells. The transfection can be performed with neurons from 3 DIV to 21 DIV. Due to its unique properties, NeuroMag allows following the maturation of transfected neurons during several days after the transfection experiment. NeuroMag is a ready-to-use reagent which forms non-covalent complexes with nucleic acids through electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions. NeuroMag is fully biodegradable, non toxic and does not interfere with cellular mechanisms
 
  • Great efficiency, ideal for primary neurons
  • High transfected neurons viability
  • Efficient from 6 DIV to 21 DIV
  • Long transgene expression (up to 7 days)
  • Non toxic and completely biodegradable
  • Serum compatible
  • Ready-to-use, straightforward and rapid
Magnetofection technology

It is an innovative technology of transfection based on the use of magnetic nanoparticles associated to your nucleic acid (or vector) of interest. A strong magnetic foeld is then exerted in the aim to concentrate and promote endocytosis of magnetic nanobeads. Consequently, high transfection efficiencies can be easily achieved. Magnetofection™ is the perfect solution for transfection of primary cells and hard-to-transfect cell types
