I order the polyfect transfection reagent (Cat No./ID: 301105) . can use it for transfection of mimic mirna?
Yes, I think it should be OK.

Thank you
Hello, I do not think so. This reagent is designed for plasmid transfection and optimized for some specific cell lines COS-7, NIH/3T3, HeLa, 293, CHO cells (see link). For miRNA, Qiagen proposes rather HiPerFect...
