Product Name Insect Cell Transfection Reagent, Baculovirus Expression System
Catalog No. ATR-CTR-0022
Description Cationic lipid transfection reagent optimized for Sf9, Sf21, and High Five insect cells in baculovirus-based recombinant protein expression. Achieves >90% transfection efficiency with bacmid/plasmid DNA while maintaining low cytotoxicity. Supports transient transfection and baculovirus generation in serum-containing and serum-free insect media.
Intended Use Insect cell transfection for baculovirus generation; recombinant protein expression (Bac-to-Bac, flashBAC); VLP production; multi-gene co-expression in lepidopteran cells.
Principle / Technology Cationic lipid forms positively charged complexes with DNA; optimized for insect cell membrane composition and endocytosis; lipid composition facilitates endosomal escape and nuclear delivery
Detection Method Dilute 1-2 µg DNA in transfection medium; add 3-6 µL reagent; complex 15-30 min; add to cells (60-80% confluent); incubate 4-6 hr; replace medium; harvest 48-96 hr
Sample Type Sf9, Sf21, Tni (High Five), Drosophila S2 cells
Reaction Conditions / Protocol Complex formation: 15-30 min RT; transfection: 4-6 hr or overnight; expression: 48-96 hr
Components / Formulation Cationic lipid blend with co-lipid helper in proprietary buffer; sterile-filtered
