As far as I am concerned, Magic™ mRNA transfection reagent is particularly suitable for mRNA delivery, and has shown outstanding transfection efficiency for both adherent cells and suspension cells.
The cells with the maximum fluorescence with the least amount of product used is the most efficient. So while dilution 3 and 4 looks quite similar, 3 uses less products, so it's the best one.

In this series of dilutions a side-by-side comparison is made of dilutions having very slightly variable final concentrations of GRP and Plus Reagents. Would it help to standardize these across the concentration range of Lipofectamine LTX?
***** Small variances happen due to different volume(s) of Lipofectamine LTX, I am not saying it matters but if it does the dilution scheme could be adjusted to give the side-by-side intended. When I calculated it as provided by the demonstration I get Plasmid DNA (ug/uL) of 00.094-0.0092; Lipofectamine LTX (%) 1.96-4.76; Plus Reagent (%) 0.94-0.92 (all from tube 1 to 4 respectively. A simple resolution is possible, since I am new to this area my biggest question is: does a 3% change at the extreme make any difference in the final analysis?
Hey a very useful video I must say, I am however confused to how you add 5 microliters of the DNA. If the DNA was 1 mg/ul why add 5 ul? so what if I did a maxi prep and got 250ng/ul i.e. 0.25mg/ul then how much do I add? what is the dilution and how to you work it out. Please help I am confused.
The DNA was 1 mg/mL which is equivalent to 1 ug/uL since we want 5ug of DNA thats 5uL. Maybe because you wrote mg/uL instead of mg/mL that's maybe why you may have been confused
Thank you Thuraya for your question. The amount of control added would depend on your well format. For a 96 well, 24 well, or 6 well, you would add 100 ng, 500 ng, or 2500 ng, respectively as indicated in our manual linked below. assets.thermofisher.com/TFS-Assets/LSG/manuals/LipofectamineLTX_PLUS_Reag_protocol.pdf For additional technical support, please contact us at Thermofisher.com/askaquestion.

Hi Velvet, Thank you for your question. This is a transient transfection. For additional technical support questions regarding stable transfection, please contact us at thermofisher.com/ask a question. Thank you!”
Thank you Zou Yu for your question. For Lipofectamine LTX, it’s the name of the product line. It’s developed for transfection of primary, challenging, and sensitive cell lines. For additional technical support, please contact us at thermofisher.com/askaquestion. Thank you!
Thank you for your question. We actually have newer reagents that we recommend for plasmid DNA transfection and we have a list available of cell lines and the reagents we recommend for them. I’ve linked to it below. www.thermofisher.com/us/en/home/life-science/cell-culture/transfection/transfection-support/transfection-selection-tool.html If you have any additional technical questions, please contact our technical support team at thermofisher.com/askaquestion. Thank you!
you are an awesome lecturer... I watch, like and recommended for others, too. keep it up dear!!

Hello, I have used this video for my class work. I need to know the explanation why dilution 3 provides the highest transfection efficiency. Thanks
The cells with the maximum fluorescence with the least amount of product used is the most efficient. So while dilution 3 and 4 looks quite similar, 3 uses less products, so it's the best one.
Thank you for this video! Very helpful. If I want to do cotransfection with GFP and APC2 plasmids, shall I add both with the plus reagent?

Thank you!
Why is dilution 3 provides the highest resolution than 2 & 4?
It's not resolution it's transfection efficiency. This is like a titration to figure out which concentration works best.

+Vinay A.K.A convert ng to mg, then use M1V1=M2V2 formula to calculate how much volume you need
The DNA was 1 mg/mL which is equivalent to 1 ug/uL
since we want 5ug of DNA thats 5uL. Maybe because you wrote mg/uL instead of mg/mL that's maybe why you may have been confused
should media be without FBS? or doesn't matter?
with FBS
how much should be added from gfp plasmid control?
Thank you Thuraya for your question. The amount of control added would depend on your well format. For a 96 well, 24 well, or 6 well, you would add 100 ng, 500 ng, or 2500 ng, respectively as indicated in our manual linked below.

Thanks for watching, will get back to you with an answer shortly.
A LifeTechnologies microscope. These are usually built with a setting that can visualize GFP or RFP expression.

If they delivered our own rna/dna I would ageee with this but sadly its gmo rna & dna
