Description
GenJet™ DNA In Vitro Tranfection Reagent for PC-3 is pre-optimized for transfecting PC-3 cells.  This human prostate cancer cell line very sensitive to liposome based mediated toxicity, leading high percentage of cell death.  With the pre-optimized DNA transfection reagent, up to 60% efficiency can be achieved. 
Refer to the following optimal transfection conditions for maximal transfection efficiency on PC-3 cells. GenJet™ reagent, 1.0 ml, is sufficient for 300 to 600 transfections in 24 well plates or 50 to 100 transfections in 6 well plates.
