Lipofectamine

Lipofectamine is a brand of transfection reagents developed by Thermo Fisher Scientific. It is primarily used in molecular biology and biotechnology for the delivery of nucleic acids—such as DNA, RNA, and plasmids—into a variety of cell types. Lipofectamine formulations typically consist of cationic lipids that can form liposomes, which encapsulate the nucleic acids and facilitate their entry into cells.
