NEWS
Achieving high transfection efficiency while maintaining optimal cell viability is a constant challenge for researchers, especially when working with sensitive or hard-to-transfect cell types. Traditional reagents often compromise cell health or require complex optimization steps.
As the authorized distributor of Promega in Hong Kong, we offer the ViaFect™ Transfection Reagent, a superior solution for DNA delivery. Designed specifically for hard-to-transfect cells, ViaFect™ minimizes cytotoxicity, making it ideal for primary cell transfection, stem cell transfection, and immune cell transfection.
How It Works
ViaFect™ is a proprietary, lipid-based formulation designed to form stable complexes with DNA. These complexes are efficiently taken up by cells, enabling robust transgene expression while preserving cell health.
- Flexible Preparation: Prepare DNA-ViaFect™ complexes in serum-free or serum-containing media.
- Streamlined Workflow: Add complexes directly to cells—no media change required.
- Reliable Analysis: Proceed directly to gene expression or downstream functional assays.
Gentle on Cells, High in Efficiency
Unlike many transfection reagents that can induce significant cytotoxicity, ViaFect™ maintains high cell viability even in sensitive cell types. This low cytotoxicity approach ensures your experimental results reflect true biological outcomes, not stress-induced artifacts.
Simple Protocol, Minimal Optimization
ViaFect™ is compatible with both adherent and suspension cell cultures and works effectively in the presence of serum and antibiotics. Its straightforward protocol eliminates the need for media changes before or after transfection, streamlining your workflow and reducing hands-on time.
Broad Cell Type Compatibility
ViaFect™ delivers consistent performance across a wide range of cell lines:
- Primary cells (e.g., neurons, hepatocytes)
- Stem cells
- Immune cells (e.g., T cells, macrophages)
- Traditionally hard-to-transfect lines (e.g., Jurkat, K562, THP-1)
Versatile Applications
Whether you are performing CRISPR transfection or large-scale production, ViaFect™ supports diverse research needs:
- CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing – Efficient delivery of Cas9 and guide RNA constructs
- Viral vector production – High-yield packaging for lentivirus, AAV, and retrovirus
- Stable cell line generation – Maintain viability through selection and clonal expansion
- Gene expression studies – Reliable transient transfection for overexpression or knockdown
- Primary cell research – Achieve meaningful transfection efficiency where other reagents fall short
