Application

PEI Prime™ is a cationic polymer designed for high-yield, reproducible and scalable drug and gene delivery. As a gene carrier, PEI forms a complex with nucleic acids via electrostatic self-assembly between the negatively charged nucleic acid phosphate groups and positively charged PEI amine groups. Due to this interaction, PEI has been extensively explored as a gene carrier and is one of the most effective synthetic polymers for the delivery of nucleic acids into cells through endocytosis.


PEI Prime™ uses an optimized form of PEI to reduce performance variance and speed process development time. Each batch of PEI Prime™ undergoes triplicate, quantitative performance testing using an SEAP reporter assay. PEI Prime™ is an excellent choice to produce any biologic cost-effectively, including recombinant proteins, antibodies, and viruses.
