Nanotherics' Magnefect-LT device offers gene transfection with improved efficiencies and cell viabilities, even with difficult cells types including neuronal and primary cells.
The system uses a technology applying proprietary magnet configurations and oscillating magnet arrays operating at fixed frequency that promotes magnetic nano particle/DNA uptake into cells to improves non-viral gene transfection, while maintaining high levels of cell viability.
The system is said to have low running costs and provide improved transfection efficiency and effectiveness over the best currently available cationic lipid agents at short transfection times.
It has been launched as a lower-cost option to complement the magnefect-nano, which offers additional flexibility with interchangeable array format and variable oscillating frequency capability to enable further user optimisation.
