FAQ
Does the piggyBac Transposon System Kit recommend lipofection or electroporation?
The PB system in this kit includes plasmids compatible with lipofection, electroporation, or other transfection methods. You can select the transfection method and parameters based on cell type. Most adherent cells are compatible with various transfection methods, while electroporation is recommended for therapeutically relevant cells.
Can cells constructed with the piggyBac Transposon System Kit be stably passaged?
Yes. The piggyBac Transposon System Kit targets genomic DNA for gene transposition, allowing the genotype of target cells to be stably inherited.
Note: Maintain transposed cells with half-dose puromycin for stability.
How can I verify the transposition activity of the piggyBac Transposon System Kit?
The transposon plasmid in this kit contains the CopGFP gene. Successfully transposed cells will exhibit green fluorescence under a fluorescence microscope. Due to cell heterogeneity, transfection and transposition efficiencies may vary across cell types. To minimize transposition variability, optimize transfection methods for target cells.
What should I do if the transfection efficiency in target cells is low?
Before the main experiment, conduct a transfection pre-experiment to explore different transfection methods and optimize conditions. Efficient transfection is essential for successful gene transposition.
Can this reagent be used alongside conventional antibiotics like penicillin, streptomycin, amphotericin, or gentamicin?
Since this reagent already provides antibiotic functionality, additional antibiotics are not recommended during the treatment to avoid adding unnecessary stress to the cells.
Can MycoE-A and MycoE-B be used simultaneously?
No, simultaneous use of both reagents places excessive stress on cells and increases the likelihood of resistance development. Use the reagents sequentially according to the instructions.
Residual Mycoplasma detected after treatment
In most cases, mycoplasma should be completely eliminated after treatment. If residual contamination persists, increase the working concentration by 50% and repeat the treatment for another cycle.
Cell death or poor cell condition after Mycoplasma elimination
For most cell lines, Mycoplasma elimination does not affect cell health. However, for sensitive cells, it is recommended to back up the cells before treatment. If cell death or poor conditions occur, reduce the working concentration by half and extend the treatment cycle to 28 days.

Can it be used with conventional antibiotics like penicillin, streptomycin, amphotericin, or gentamicin?
Since this reagent already provides antibiotic functions, additional antibiotics are not recommended during the treatment to reduce stress on cells.
Residual Mycoplasma after treatment
Mycoplasma should be nearly completely eliminated. If contamination persists, increase the working concentration by 50% and repeat the treatment for one cycle.
Cell death or poor cell condition after Mycoplasma elimination
For most cell lines, mycoplasma elimination has no impact on cell health. However, for sensitive cells, it is recommended to create backups before treatment. If cell death or poor conditions occur, reduce the working concentration by half and extend the treatment period to 28 days.
