Transfection of 293 cells in 10 cm dishes

******Abbreviated protocol******

Surface area of 10 cm dish is 8 x greater than that of a 6-well dish.

 

Therefore:

1. Use 20 ug of plasmid DNA.

2. Use 64 ul of Lipofectamine 2000 per dish

3. Place each into 1.2 ml of Opti-MEM.

4. Let sit at RT for 5 minutes.

5. Mix and let stand 20 minutes prior to addition to cells.

6. Cells should be in ~8 ml of media (w/o drugs of any kind).

Continue as usual.

 

Transfection of 293 cells in 10 cm dishes

******Abbreviated protocol******

Surface area of 15 cm dish is 18 x greater than that of a 6-well dish.

 

Therefore:

1. Use 45 ug of plasmid DNA.

2. Use 144 ul of Lipofectamine 2000.

3. Place each into 2.7 ml of Opti-MEM.

4. Let sit at RT for 5 minutes.

5. Mix and let stand 20 minutes prior to addition to cells.

6. Cells should be in ~20 ml of media (w/o drugs of any kind).

Continue as usual.
