The cell line was derived from a pancreatic tumor(insulinoma) arising in a transgenic mouse. The mouse carried the pseudogene construct composed of the SV40 early region controlled by the rat insulin II gene promoter. The cells contain abundant insulin and small amounts of glucagon and somatostatin. They secrete insulin in response to glucose[PubMed: 7533732].
The Transfection Reagent:
Beta-TC-6 Cell Avalanche™ Transfection Reagent is a new class of unique chemical formulations specifically formulated and optimized for transfecting Beta-TC-6 Cells. The proprietary formulation of lipids and polymers ensures the highest possible transfection efficiencies and viabilities for Beta-TC-6 Cells. For details of the developing process of this reagent, please go to: How did EZ Biosystems develop Avalanche™ Cell type/cell line specific transfection reagent series?
Features:
- Unique formulation-maximize transfection performance in Beta-TC-6 Cells.
- Extremely gentle to cells
- Deliver single or multiple plasmids
- Simplest and straightforward protocols
- Compatible with serum
- Suitable for Reverse Transfection
- Reproducible: due to highly controlled chemical synthesis of each of the ingredients, the reagent forms uniformly sized complex particles with nucleic acids. With optimized protocol, our reagent will ensure the reproducible highest transfection results.

| FIG. 1. High throughput test of transfection efficiency (determined as RLU/mg) on BETA-TC-6 cells after transfection of luciferase reporter gene by using our 172 proprietary transfection formulas and several most popular commercial transfection reagents. The yellow box showed the results of 4 commercial transfection reagents. The red lines marked our candidate formulas with the highest transfection efficiency for BETA-TC-6 cells. This test result was confirmed with repeat experiments. The one that showed the optimal balance of potent & low cytotoxicity among those candidate formulas after flow cytometry analysis on the percentage of 7AAD positive cells was later named as this BETA-TC-6 Cell Avalanche Transfection Reagent. |

Recommended protocols for these cells will be provided with the reagent. The protocols usually provide satisfactory transfection efficiency with invisible cytotoxicity. However, optimization may be needed for certain type of cells. Optimizations may include: the amount of DNA and this transfection reagent; cell density; transfection reagent/DNA ratio, or incubation time for the mixture of transfection reagent/DNA etc. For best transfection result, we recommend using the respective cell type/cell line specific Avalanche transfection reagents. Those reagents have been optimized on both recipes and protocols, and have been proved to have the best transfection results for the respective cell lines or primary cells. You can easily find the respective Avalanche transfection reagents specific for your cells by using the filters of our product list. |
