Native Cell Compatibility

BrightSite™ targeting agent solutions let you start work immediately using native cells and cell lines for which targeting agents have been developed. Costly and laborious evaluation of cell transfection reagents and optimization for a given cell system are eliminated. Results using native cells may also be more conducive to translational research.

LI-COR’s systematic development and optimization of targeting agents has provided the following ready-to-use solutions.
