3D Transfection: a new outlook for your cells!

3D-Fect™ is the newest reagent specifically developed to directly transfect cells cultured in 3D scaffold. 3D-Fect™ is suitable for all kind of scaffolds and cells. This reagent is based on a novel technology that allows adding a third dimension to cell culture.

3D matrices not only add a third dimension to cells’ environment, they also allow creating significant differences in cellular characteristics and behavior. Because 3D matrices are routinely used in basic research and therapeutic applications, we have developed 3D-Fect™ transfection reagent specific for scaffolds. In this way, scaffold-based 3D matrices combined with 3D-Fect™/DNA complexes, are colonized by cells to be transfected in a more natural environment. This method allows studying tissue engineering, tissue regeneration, tumor invasion, neural differentiation, cellular polarization, tissue formation, colonization, neurite growth…
