Protocol Summary

Prepare cells for transfection.
Prepare Transfectamine™ 6000 CRISPR reagent-CRISPR DNA mixture.
Add Transfectamine™ 6000 CRISPR reagent-CRISPR DNA mixture to cell culture.
Culture overnight.
Analyze transfection efficiency with appropriate methods.

CELL PREPARATION

Prepare Cell Culture

Culture cells to ~ 80-90% confluency at the time of transfection.
Before transfection, replace the old growth medium with a fresh medium. For example, add 2 mL of medium per well for 6-well plates and 6 mL of medium for 10-cm plates.

PREPARATION OF WORKING SOLUTION

Prepare Transfectamine™ 6000-CRISPR DNA Mixture

Mix 2.5 µg of DNA with 200 µL of serum-free medium.
Add 7.5 µL of Transfectamine™ 6000 CRISPR reagent to Step 1.
Mix well and incubate at room temperature for 20 minutes.

Note: The recommended Transfectamine™ 6000 CRISPR Transfection Reagent (uL):DNA (ug) ratio is 3-5 µL:1 µg, but optimization is necessary for different cell lines.

SAMPLE EXPERIMENTAL PROTOCOL

Component	6-well plate (per well)	10 cm plate
Fresh Culture Medium	2 mL	6 mL
CRISPR Plasmid	~2.5 µg	7.5 ~ 10 µg
Serum-free Medium	200 µL	600 µL
Transfectamine™ 6000 CRISPR Transfection Reagent	~7.5 µL	~22.5 µL

Transfection Protocol

Add Transfectamine™ 6000 CRISPR reagent – CRISPR DNA mixture to culture plate and culture overnight.

Note: Recombinant protein expression can be detected as early as 16 hours post-transfection with maximal levels observed between 72-96 hours post-transfection.
