Cellectricon Presents Transfection Solutions for Drug Discovery at Experimental Biology 2013

16 Apr 2013

Product news

Cellectricon, a leading provider of advanced cell-based screening technologies and services, will be exhibiting its revolutionary in-situ transfection technology platforms on booth #1178 at the Experimental Biology conference (20-24 April, Boston, US).

Cellectricon will also present two posters on April 24, focusing on high performance in-situ transfection. The poster “Transfection of primary and iPSC-derived cells by capillary electroporation” (LB162) explores how Cellectricon’s novel electroporation Cellaxess® ACE system is ideal for in-situ transfection of any adherent cell type. Minimal cell processing and low voltages ensure excellent viability and completely retained morphology, in any cell culture format.

For in-situ transfection applications on a larger scale, the poster “High throughput in-situ transfection of primary and iPSC-derived cells” (LB163) details how the novel electroporation platform Cellaxess® Elektra is optimized for in-vitro transfection of primary and iPSC-derived cells, directly into 384-well plates. With virtually no impact on cell viability or morphology, this system is ideal for screening applications such as cDNA and RNAi. The presentations will commence from 12:15 to 13:30, and posters will be available for viewing throughout the day.

Cell Lines Stem Cells and Primary CellsPrimary cell cultures, established cell lines and stem cells are vital for <i>in vitro</i> and <i>ex vivo</i> experimentation. High-quality cells, optimized for your applications, alongside optimized cell substrates, growth medium and supplements, are critical for experimental success. Explore a range of cells suitable for your applications, including isogenic cell lines, competent cells, induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived cell lines, fungal/bacterial/mammalian cell lines, stem cells and cancer cell lines. Find the best cells for your research in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Cell-Based AssaysCell-based assays are used to monitor the presence, quantity and activities of a desired cellular analyte including drug molecules or biomarkers. This can reveal information on cell health (apoptosis, cytotoxicity, viability and proliferation assays), cell metabolism, cell migration and cell signaling mechanisms. Find the best cell-based assay products, kits and equipment with our peer reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receiving pricing direct from manufacturers.RNA InterferenceRNA interference (RNAi) uses siRNA or miRNA for transcriptional silencing, gene knockdown and regulation of gene expression. RNAi requires chemical synthesis, introduction of DNA vectors into cells, an assay of RNAi effects and RNAi quantification or analysis. Consider target sequence selection, reagent preparation, controls, high specificity and effectiveness and low non-specific gene knockdown.IpscScreeningUsing robotics, data processing and control software, liquid handling devices and sensitive detectors, screening allows a researcher to quickly conduct millions of chemical, genetic or pharmacological tests.ElectroporationCell ViabilityCell viability assays assess the health of cells and their ability to proliferate. These tests are crucial in drug development, toxicity testing, and cell-based research. Common methods for assessing viability include MTT, live/dead assays, and flow cytometry. Browse our peer-reviewed product directory to find the best tools for cell viability assays, compare products, check reviews, and get pricing directly from manufacturers.TransfectionTransfection introduces nucleic acids (DNA or RNA) into cells, facilitating gene expression, genome editing, and functional studies. It�s widely used in genetic research, drug discovery, and therapeutic development. Find transfection reagents, kits, and systems in our product directory with reviews and pricing options.
