Can I use other transfection reagents, such as PEI (polyethylenimine), in the AAV-MAX Helper-Free AAV Production System?

The AAV-MAX Transfection Reagent, AAV-MAX Tranfection Booster, and AAV-MAX Enhancer are specifically designed to work synergistically with the Viral Production Medium and Viral Production Cells 2.0 to provide maximum titers. Mixing and matching of reagents is not recommended, as this will decrease the overall performance.
