By using the MaxCyte STX scalable transfection system, CCS Cell Culture Service is able to transfect batches of up to 10 billion cells in less than 30 minutes. Cell lines, primary cells and stem cells are reproducibly and efficiently transfected while maintaining the integrity of the cells for subsequent assays. As a result, bulk quantities of assay-ready frozen instant cells which are transiently expressing targets of interest can now be rapidly prepared. Difficult targets or target complexes can now be easily addressed in a high-throughput screening scale by using large quantities of validated transiently transfected cells, even in more in vivo-like cellular backgrounds.CCS Cell Culture ServicePhone: (732) 329 2355 www.cellcultureservice.com

Striving Toward Secondary GoalsLate last month, Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich stunned most everyone when he declared his promise that "by the end of my second term, we will have the first permanent base on the moon." While I don’t fault Gingrich for dreaming and trying to set high standards and goals, I can’t help but think of the enormous amount of known and unknown variables that significantly deter this accomplishment...continue
