How to increase transfection efficiency using lipofectamine 2000?

11 July 2021 1 10K Report

Dear Researchers,

I'm going to transfect SH-SY5Y cells using lipofectamine 2000. The vector size is less than 10 kb. Please give me some technical advises to increase the transfection rate. Regards

Meng Fei

On the premise of ensuring other operations are correct, the most direct way is to increase the transfection amount within the range that SH-SY5Y cells can bear.
