Protocol library

The Neon NxT Electroporation System is an electroporation instrument that offers up to 90% transfection and gene-editing efficiency in extremely difficult-to-transfect cells, including immune, primary, and stem cells. Over 150 cell lines have been tested with optimized ready-to-use conditions for efficiency and viability.

A single buffer kit for many mammalian cell type

Avoid the hassle of searching for a buffer kit that will work with your cell line. We have simplified the process with one buffer kit that is compatible with over 150 mammalian cell lines. We recommend using Invitrogen Neon NxT Resuspension R Buffer at voltages below 1,900 V and Invitrogen Neon NxT Resuspension T Buffer at higher voltages.

Genome editing holds great promise in the pursuit of a greater understanding of human health and disease. A critical, yet challenging step in the genome editing workflow is the effective delivery of CRISPR ribonucleoprotein (RNP), DNA and RNA molecules into the cell line of choice—also known as transfection. As demonstrated above, electroporation is the most widely used delivery method for its ability to achieve high transfection efficiency, even with hard-to-transfect cells.

When used with the Neon NxT Electroporation System, our gene editing reagents and the Neon NxT Resuspension Genome Editing Buffer can help improve gene editing performance with specific payloads like CRISPR Cas9 for knockout or knock-in experiments with mammalian cells including primary, stem, and difficult-to-transfect cells (Figure 2).

Customizable electroporation parameters

With the Neon NxT Electroporation System, you can precisely control the parameters that matter most for your experiment without wasting precious time adjusting those that do not. This transfection system allows you to modify:

• Pulse voltage
• Pulse width
• Number of pulses
• Cell type
• Buffer type
• Payload type

Versatility for different payloads, cell types, and cell densities

Deliver DNA, RNA, or protein to a wide variety of mammalian cells, with the flexibility to transfect 1 x 10⁴ to 1 x 10⁷ cells per reaction.

Simplified electroporation workflow

Easy to follow and execute, the Neon NxT Electroporation System streamlined workflow requires minimal training and improves consistency and reproducibility.

Using this transfection system, the electroporation process is simple: first, take up cells and plasmid mix into the Neon NxT pipette tip. Second, dock the pipette into the pipette station, and press Electroporate. Finally, pipette the transfected cells back into your culture vessel. As the transfection occurs in the pipette tip, the transfection is completed in just 3 simple steps: Aspirate, Electroporate, Dispense. In addition to simplifying the workflow, our proprietary electroporation technology shortens the overall process, compared to a conventional electroporation system as the transfection occurs in the Neon NxT pipette tip and therefore significantly reduces the number of pipetting steps.

Flexibility to maximize optimization

With the Neon NxT 8-Channel Pipette where each channel can be a different condition, you can efficiently test a wide range of parameters in a single experiment, greatly enhancing your research throughput and precision. This streamlined approach allows for rapid and accurate optimization, ensuring high efficiency and viability in your experiments (Figure 4).
