Magnetic Nanoparticle-Based Gene Transfection

The magnefect-nanoTM from Blackfish is the only oscillating magnetic nanoparticle-based transfection system on the market. Blackfish holds the patents to the system, which outperforms other non-viral transfection platforms, especially for neuronal cell applications. Unlike viral transfection methods, our system enables transfection of large plasmids that are relevant to many neurological disorders, and also allows multiple re-transfections using the same, or different plasmids, as well as RNA transfection for gene knockdown studies.

Having demonstrated significant improvements in non-viral, in vitro transfection, particularly for neuronal research, Blackfish will focus on the development of low-cost instrumentation. These systems will go head-to-head with and significantly outperform, electroporation while providing significant improvements in cell viability and transfection efficiency.
