Transfection & Cell Culture

Polysciences' transfection reagents are based on widely-used polyethylenimine (PEI). Our PEI is the most cited, trusted, and cost-effective available.

Transfection Reagent Overview

  1. Prionex®
    Prionex®
    Catalog Number 24621

    Prionex® is a polypeptide fraction of highly purified dermal collagen of porcine origin with excellent protein stabilizing properties. Prionex® is prepared by partial hydrolysis under mild conditions. An extremely pure form of gelatine type A free from cartilage, bone and plasma components.

  2. MAXgene® GMP Transfection Reagent

    MAXgene® GMP Transfection Reagent is a cGMP transfection reagent for the development and manufacturing of viral vectors for cell-and gene-based therapies. It is an ideal reagent in HEK293 and CHO systems for the manufacture of AAVs, LVs and recombinant proteins. MAXgene™ GMP capitalizes on the efficiency and scalability of Polysciences’ PEI MAX while adding the validation process and regulatory components necessary for moving into clinical and commercial manufacturing. It is manufactured in accordance with cGMP under an ISO 13485 Quality Management System.

  3. MAXgene® GMP Transfection Reagent, Powder

    MAXgene® GMP Transfection Reagent, Powder is a cGMP transfection reagent for the development and manufacturing of viral vectors for cell-and gene-based therapies. It is an ideal reagent in HEK293 and CHO systems for the manufacture of AAVs, LVs and recombinant proteins. MAXgene GMP capitalizes on the efficiency and scalability of Polysciences’ PEI MAX® while adding the validation process and regulatory components necessary for moving into clinical and commercial manufacturing. It is manufactured in accordance with cGMP under an ISO 13485 Quality Management System.

  4. Transporter 5® Transfection Reagent

    Transporter 5® Transfection Reagent is a ready-to-use transfection reagent based on a proprietary polyethylenimine derivative.  The structure of Transporter 5 condenses DNA into positively charged complexes which enter the cell by endocytosis.  Transporter 5 works exceptionally well for transfection of HEK-293, CHO, COS, HeLa, insect cell lines (Sf9 and Sf21) and a variety of other eukaryotic cell lines.

  5. Polyethylenimine, Linear, MW 25000, Transfection Grade (PEI 25K™)
    PEI 25K is a powerful, trusted, and cost-effective transient transfection reagent. In HEK293 and CHO expression systems, PEI offers consistently high gene expression on a wide scale (96 well plates up to 100 L bioreactors). Each year, more researchers and companies turn to Polysciences PEI to gain a critical edge in their work. Relative to most other options, using PEI to prepare transfection reagents in-house can offer as much as a 40% reduction in total transfection costs.
  6. LipoVector™ Transfection Reagent
    LipoVector™ is our new lipid transfection reagent designed for the delivery of RNA, DNA, and proteins into eukaryotic cells (in vitro and in vivo). LipoVector™ interacts with nucleic acids and the cell membrane to provide efficient and safe delivery into cells. It can be used for transient and stable gene expression as well as co-transfections and is a powerful tool for intracellular delivery of nucleotides.
  7. LipoVector™ Transfection Reagent
