Magnetofectamine™ O2 is the new powerful and ideal transfection kit designed for primary and hard-to-transfect cells. The alliance of MTX transfection reagent and CombiMag leads to increased transfection efficiency, minimized toxicity and enhanced gene expression.

This kit replaces and outperforms the original Magnetofectamine which was the combination of Lipofectamine™* 2000 from Life Technologies Corporation and CombiMag Transfection Reagent.

CombiMag, a magnetic formulation based on the Magnetofection™ technology, binds to MTX transfection reagent/DNA complexes and under the application of a magnetic field concentrates the genetic material onto cells and promotes cellular uptake. In this way, transfection efficiency is enhanced.

  • Less nucleic acids used - minimized toxicity
  • No need to change your standard protocol
  • Ideal for hard-to-transfect and primary cells
  • Simple, ready-to use and rapid
  • Serum compatible and applicable to all nucleic acids

Magnetofectamine Transfection efficiency

Figure 2:  As the magnetic force drives the gene vector towards the target cells, Magnetofectamine™ O2 allows the vector dose to concentrate onto the cell very rapidly and triggers delivery via endocytosis. Consequently, high transfection efficiencies can be achieved with less nucleic acid amount.
