Transfect Common Cells Efficiently and Cost-Effectively
For common cell types, Lipofectamine™ 3000 reagent is more cost-effective than other reagents due to its high concentration and low usage amount. The 1.5 mL size provides up to 1500 transfection reactions (in 24-well plates).

Achieve Superior Transfection Efficiency While Maintaining Low Toxicity
Lipofectamine™ 3000 reagent maintains a high transfection efficiency within a robust dynamic range of lipid doses for quick and easy optimization. A low toxicity lipid dose (0.75 μL for 24-well plates) is suggested for applications requiring minimal disruption of the cells.

Enable High Transfection Efficiency in Novel Genome Editing Applications
Lipofectamine™ 3000 reagent is suitable for novel genome editing applications. It increases the likelihood of successful cleavage and recombination with TALENs or CRISPRs through highly efficient transfection, ultimately maximizing the efficiency of genetic modifications and simplifying the downstream processes.
