The Living Colors DsRed Polyclonal Antibody has been raised against DsRed-Express, a variant of Discosoma sp. red fluorescent protein. This antibody recognizes DsRed-Express, DsRed-Express2, DsRed-Monomer, mCherry, DsRed2, E2-Crimson, tdTomato, mStrawberry, and mBanana, and both N- and C-terminal fusion proteins containing these fluorescent proteins in mammalian cell lysates.

Xfect is a transfection reagent that creates biodegradable nanoparticles that permit superior transfection efficiency of plasmid DNA into mammalian cells. Transfections can be carried out entirely in the presence of serum.

NucleoSpin Plasmid Transfection-grade is a fast miniprep kit that uses a new technology developed by Macherey-Nagel to reduce the level of endotoxins co-purified during plasmid preparations from bacterial lysates. Since endotoxins interfere with eukaryotic cell survival, endotoxin reduction is essential prior to cell transfection.
