What is the difference between MATra-A Reagent, MATra-S Immobilizer and MA Lipofection Enhancer?
The three different reagents are used for different procedures: 1. MATra-A Reagent for adherent cells In this case, the nucleic acid has only to be combined to the MATra-A Reagent and MATra can be performed. 2. MATra-S Immobilizer for suspension cells In this case, cells have to be made adherent first by incubating them with the magnetic reagent MATra-S Immobilizer. Then MATra-A Reagent loaded with the nucleic acid is applied and MATra can be performed. 3. MA-Lipofection Enhancer used in combination with standard transfection reagents Transfection with common lipidic (e.g. our IBAfect, but also Lipofectamine, Fugene etc.) or polycationic (e.g our PromoFectin, but also ExGen500 or Superfect etc.) reagents can be enhanced by magnetic assistance. In this case, the nucleic acid to be transfected has to be combined with MA Lipofection Enhancer in the presence of the common transfection reagent. Furthermore, MA Lipofection Enhancer can be associated with viruses (adenovirus, retrovirus) to e
