Mirus Bio: Transfection Reagents & Nucleic Acid Labeling Tools

Transfection is the process of introducing nucleic acids (plasmid DNA or messenger, short interfering, or micro RNA) into a cell. Researchers accomplish this with non-viral methods (chemical or physical transfection), or with viral methods, commonly referred to as transduction. Researchers use chemical and physical transfection and viral transduction to explore gene expression and screening, for bioproduction of proteins and viruses, or for therapeutic purposes such as gene therapy.
The Art of Transfection (Poster / pdf)

A wide variety of molecular and cellular biology procedures are dependent on a labeled or tagged nucleic acid whose behavior can be specifically studied via the attached label. Ideally, the label will have little to no influence on the behavior of the labeled nucleic acid. Mirus Bio optimized the Label IT® Technology for specialized applications including nucleic acid visualization both in vitro and in vivo.
