Does anybody have the recipe for making a home made R electroporation buffer for Neon transfection systems?

I tried the recipes below in two cells lines: 1.DPBS 2.DPBS+MgCl2(1mM) 3.DPBS+Sucrose(250mM) 4.DPBS+MgCl2(1mM)+Sucrose(250mM) 5.R Buffer (Neon) the results showed that R buffer is the best one in...
