Consistent results and a product of great value

 

Average Rating 4.3

Application Area:

Transfection in hard to transfect cells like AGS and HT-29

The product is very good, using it for the last three years. The transfection efficiency is high and the results are consistent. Some cells are hard to transfect even with this product. Hope to get some updated products from Thermo.

Review Date: 17 Mar 2023 | Thermo Fisher Scientific

Great results.

 

Average Rating 5.0

Application Area:

Pituitary cancer cells transfection

Easy to use and worked well on our primary cells from rats tumor tissues.

Review Date: 17 May 2021 | Thermo Fisher Scientific

First choice for transfection.

 

Average Rating 4.7

Application Area:

In vitro

It is a must for hard-to-transfect cells with more than 80% efficiency.

Review Date: 2 Feb 2021 | Thermo Fisher Scientific

Great efficiency and works consistently.

 

Average Rating 5.0

Application Area:

Transfection into mammalian cells

We use Lipofectamine 3000 to transfect plasmids into both human and mouse cells and receive at least 80-100% efficiency consistently.

Review Date: 17 Apr 2020 | Thermo Fisher Scientific

Average Rating 3.3

Application Area:

Transfection efficiency

It would be great if there were more tips & tricks available for optimizing efficiency. Also, it is expensive, but it's still probably the best option.

Review Date: 28 Jan 2020 | Thermo Fisher Scientific

Reliable transfection of siRNA and plasmids.

 

Average Rating 3.7

Application Area:

Over-expression of proteins

Highly effective product. Cost is high and could be more economical since need multiple replicates to perform for publication.

Review Date: 17 Jan 2019 | Thermo Fisher Scientific

Lipofectamine 3000 provides excellent plasmid over-expression, sans cell toxicity.

 

Average Rating 4.3

Application Area:

Over-expression of protein

Lipofectamine 3000 provided gentle but efficient transfection in several line of interest to our lab, HEI-OC1 mouse cochlear (69-fold) , NCCIT and Ntera2 (3 fold) testicular cancer lines and allowed for very nice dose response assays for cisplatin sensitvity assays. We appreciate greatly the technical service of ThermoFisher and find them an integral part of our research progress with excellent technical advise.

Review Date: 5 Nov 2018 | Thermo Fisher Scientific

Great results. Loves to use it.

 

Average Rating 4.3

Application Area:

Mammalian cell transfections

It is extremely easy to use it. And it gives great results.

Review Date: 4 Nov 2017 | Thermo Fisher Scientific

I really enjoy using Lipofectamine reagent for cell transfections

 

Average Rating 3.7

Application Area:

Transfection of cells

In our lab, we use Lipofectmamine 3000 reagent as our primary transfection reagent for a wide range of experiments. I personally have used this reagent to transfect cells for fluorescent microscopy, GST pull downs, and co-immunoprecipitation experiments. We have had success using Lipofectamine reagents in the past and the Lipofectamine 3000 appears to be the best option.

Review Date: 3 Feb 2017 | Thermo Fisher Scientific

Recommend to all researchers for lipid-based reagent for reverse transfection of plasmids

 

Average Rating 3.7

Application Area:

Transfection

Easy protocol, good for reverse transfection with not much toxicity to cells
