Abstract

The instant invention is a novel buffer which enables simultaneous cryoprotection and transfection of mammalian cells. It enables the user to make cell stocks which can be kept long term. Use of these cell stocks circumvents the need to culture cells each time a transfection is undertaken. It alleviates the need for continuous cell culture and repeated transfections due to transfection variability.
