Description

PEI STAR™ is a chemically-defined, high-performance polyethylenimine (PEI) transfection reagent for cost-effective, affordable and scalable transient gene expression. PEI is a synthetic polymer with an exceptionally high positive charge density in pH-neutral solutions. Positively charged PEI binds strongly to negatively charged DNA and imparts a net cationic charge, allowing the DNA to enter cells. PEI is a non-viral vector commonly used to transfect HEK293 and CHO cells. Applications include production of recombinant proteins, antibodies and viruses.
