PEI STAR-Go™ is a ready-to-use aqueous formulation of our high performance PEI STAR™ transfection reagent (Cat. No. 7854), provided as a sterile-filtered solution. PEI STAR™ is a chemically-defined, linear polyethylenimine (PEI) transfection reagent for affordable and scalable transient gene expression. PEI is a synthetic polymer with an exceptionally high positive charge density in pH-neutral solutions. Positively charged PEI binds strongly to negatively charged DNA and imparts a net cationic charge, allowing the DNA to enter cells. PEI is a non-viral vector commonly used to transfect HEK293, CHO, and a range of other eukaryotic cell lines. Applications include production of lentivirus and rAAV, recombinant proteins, and antibodies. Supplied as a 1mg/mL aqueous solution.
