Creating stable cell lines is time-consuming and complex. The trusted, experienced developers of Invitrogen GeneArt TALs and GeneArt CRISPR products can custom-design stable cell lines using one of the most robust and reliable technologies on the market. Utilizing quality products throughout the process, our scientists will work with you to design your stable cell line and perform quality control testing to help ensure that the cell line meets your requirements.
We have experience working with a wide variety of cell backgrounds ranging from easy-to-transfect cell lines (like HEK 293, 293FT, HCT116, or HeLa) to hard-to-transfect cell lines (like fibroblasts, neuroblastoma-derived, hepatocellular carcinoma, bone marrow–derived, and endothelium-derived cells). Every editing project is unique to the client, based on the modification desired and the cell background; therefore, we provide consultation services to evaluate the technical feasibility of editing in your desired cell line. We take the time to understand your goals.
Our complete portfolio of solutions sets us apart and allows us to achieve maximum efficiencies. We optimize the cell culture conditions and transfection method, and we validate per your specifications, to help ensure you receive the edited cell line you desire. Our services were developed with you as our top priority. We provide a dedicated project manager who will work with you to help meet your research goals and timelines—we’re committed to helping you succeed.
We offer a complete set of editing tools to make virtually any type of cell line, in either stable pool or stable cell line format. GeneArt TAL effectors and CRISPRs are efficient tools for precise genome modifications in mammalian cells. Our experienced cell engineering team will help determine the best-suited technology based on your project. The table below provides you with a list of services available.

NOTE: We can also generate platforms in your cell line of choice. For any service package above you will receive:
Custom-designed packages are available upon request.
How rapidly we can deliver a custom stable pool or stable cell line depends on the cell line, growth characteristics, and culturing requirements. Stable cell line engineering services can be completed in as little as 10 weeks.

Accelerate your custom project and increase the quality of your cell line engineering with a more stringent QC method. If fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS) of single cells is not performed, NGS can remove clonality ambiguities from limiting dilution cloning via testing the expanded cell line that has been edited.
Expertise in cellular and molecular biology is behind the Invitrogen product portfolio of DNA reagents and consumables—the most cited and trusted transfection and selection systems available. We test several transfection methods prior to determining the best one suited to your cell line. As part of our cell engineering services, we provide you with details on the optimal transfection method and conditions.
