What You Need to Know About Cell Transfection

Nanoparticles can be manufactured with tunable size, shape, and surface as well as biological activity. Their role as nanocarriers is well established. While many nanoparticles are stable as an aqueous colloid, ferrofluid, they maintain an insufficient active surface and are limited in their capacity for further modification or surface engineering.

In this cutting-edge technology, a stable nanoparticle has been designed. It is composed of a metal oxide (maghemite, Fe2O3) core particulate system and a shell made of cerium (III/IV) cations and complexes.

This novel design of the nanoparticles facilitate manipulation of nanoparticle parameters to create more efficient vehicles for cell transfection in vitro and drug formulations with improved performance in vivo together with strong contrast of MRI capabilities.

The global transfection reagent & equipment market is expected to reach USD 1,086 million by This anticipated growth in demand can be attributed to the growing need for protein production, biopharmaceutical development, and vaccine research and development; all of which rely heavily on cytological R&D and transfection.
