Bio-Rad Laboratories has helped scientists deliver molecules into cells for over 35 years.

Instruments, including the Gene Pulser series of electroporators, the MicroPulser electroporator, and the Helios gene gun and PDS-1000/He biolistic systems, have been used successfully to transfect prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, including plant and animal cells. These transfection instruments are cited extensively in the literature.

Our lipid-mediated methods include two key transfection reagents — TransFectin lipid reagent for delivery of plasmid DNA and siLentFect lipid reagent for siRNA delivery.

This site contains protocols obtained from the literature, developed by Bio-Rad scientists, or submitted by scientists like you. Submit a protocol by clicking the proper technology or browse protocols to view our library and find your starting point.

We understand how important it is to have a good transfection protocol. If you have a preferred transfection protocol, share it with us! Submit your protocol into our library, and we'll send you a free gift and enter you in our grand prize drawing.
