24 h post-transfection24 h post-transfection 48 h post-transfection
Abstract High EGFP expression in various cell types
jetOPTIMUS® development
Maintained gene expression post-transfection
Excellent cell viability and high gene expression using low DNA amount
Transfection efficiency was assessed by FACS analysis 24 h after transfection of plasmid DNA encoding forEGFP (pCMV-EGFP) with jetOPTIMUS®, Lipofectamine® 2000 and Lipofectamine® 3000 in primary cells andcancer cell lines.
GFP expression was assayed by fluorescencemicroscopy in Vero cells 24 h after transfection.

Transfection with jetOPTIMUS® preserves cell viability and morphology of sensitive cells as it requires lowestamount of DNA and volume of reagent while reaching high transfection efficiency in physiologicalconditions. This reagent associates higher transfection efficiency and lower toxicity compared to othercommercially available delivery solutions. DNA transfection using jetOPTIMUS® is straightforward andprovides highly reproducible results.
Highly efficient: Reach maximal gene expression in many cell types
Cost-effective: Use lowest reagent volume and DNA quantity
Biologically relevant: Keep an excellent cell viability & morphology
Time-saving: Transfect with an optimized ready-to-use protocol
Best-in-class DNA transfection reagent
HEK293-F CHO-S
DNA transfection remains a limiting factor for many researchers working with primary cells and specificcell lines. Considering the limiting steps in these hard-to-transfect cell types and based on our knowledgeand expertise in transfection, we have addressed this issue by developing a novel DNA transfectionreagent, jetOPTIMUS®. This reagent improves DNA delivery and intracellular transport ending by highergene expression in hard-to-transfect primary cells and cell lines. This reagent associates highertransfection efficiency and lower toxicity compared to the best commercially available competitors. DNAtransfection reagent jetOPTIMUS® is easy to use and provides highly reproducible results.

Structure optimization
Hits validation on expanded cell lines
Identification of compounds mediating efficient transfection
High-throughput screening of a proprietary chemical compounds library was performed to select newmolecules leading to superior transfection efficiency while maintaining excellent cell viability in differentcell types. After hits identification and validation, we optimized their chemistry through structure/activityrelationship (SAR) studies to select the best one, jetOPTIMUS®.
