Experimental ProcedureCell culture:GFP+/mcherry+- and WT-HeLa cells were precultured separately in tissue culture flasks in DMEM with 10% FBS, 2 mM glutamine and 1% pen/strep. On the day before the measurement, cells were detached and seeded with 20,000 cells/well on a 96-well plate with µclear bottom in 200 µL medium. GFP+/mcherry+-HeLas were seeded in ratios from 0%-100% by mixing them with WT-HeLa cells to simulate transfection efficiency to different extents. Cells were allowed to attach to the cell culture surface overnight.

Supergel / Rosclux is regarded as one of the most widely used color filter ranges in the world. It is comprised of more than 75 colors and 15 diffusions that are engineered using Rosco’s exclusive body-colored, polycarbonate extrusion process to offer the longest possible life under hot theatrical and film/TV light fixtures. This unique manufacturing process also provides Supergel with unsurpassed heat-resistance, color-stability and flame-retardancy.

The lower limit of detection for the simulated transfection efficiency in 20,000 cells per well was calculated based on the SD of the blank (= 100% WT HeLa w/o GFP+/mcherry+-HeLas) and the slope of the respective standard curve. The VANTAstar is able to reliably detect a transfection efficiency down to 5.3% measuring GFP fluorescence (fig. 4). The detectable transfection efficiency could be improved even further down to 3.1% by measuring mcherry fluorescence. This benefit can be mainly attributed to the reduced presence of cellular autofluorescence as well as of autofluorescing cell culture medium components in the red wavelength range.

Cells are transfected with exogenous DNA to study the regulation of gene and protein expression. To monitor transfection efficiency, a reporter gene is often attached to the gene of interest to monitor its insertion into the cell’s genome. Fluorescent proteins like Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) are often used as such reporters during transfection efficiency experiments. The reporter gene can either be present on the same vector as the gene of interest or can alternatively be located on a separate plasmid. The success of a transfection experiment is defined by the ratio of cells expressing the used reporter which “reports” on the insertion of the gene of interest. This ratio is also known as transfection efficiency.

If cells are stably transfected with the genetic blueprint for fluorescent proteins, they will consistently express these reporters. Thereupon, a fluorescence microscope or a fluorescence microplate reader can be used to detect them. By mixing fluorescent with wild type (WT) cells, transfection efficiency can be simulated to different extents (fig.1). Here, HeLa cells were transfected with the genetic sequences for GFP and mcherry and mixed in increasing ratios with WT-HeLas without fluorescent reporter to simulate transfection efficiency.

The results in fig. 2 and 3 confirm a linear relationship between the percentage of GFP+/mcherry+ HeLas  (= transfection efficiency) and the measured signal  for GFP or mcherry fluorescence with high accuracy  (R² = 0,9997 and 0,9998) and precision (%CV = 10.5 and 5.2).

BMG LABTECH plate readers reliably detect cells expressing a fluorescent marker down to ~600 cells/well in a 96-well plate and thereby represent a valuable alternative to microscopes to monitor transfection efficiency. Both matrix scan and spiral averaging deliver accurate results, allowing the user to choose between speed and image-like resolution. The readers also reliably detect transfection efficiency experiments based on red-shifted dyes. These come with the advantage of avoiding most of the autofluorescence derived primarily from media and cell-derived components.

The life of color filters depends on many variables: the color, the instrument and lamp used, the dimmer level a filter generally runs at, and the amount of time the light is running. For these reasons it is impossible to assign a "life" for each filter. However some basics knowledge and experience can help with estimates. Dark green and dark blue filters usually burn out the fastest because they absorb the most infrared energy. Absorbing the extra infrared energy causes the plastic to reach it's melting temperature faster. When darker filters are needed try choosing filters that transmit high amounts of the 700 nm range. You can find this information by looking at the Spectral Energy Distribution (S.E.D.) curve located in the swatchbook for each Supergel color filter. Filters than transmit high levels at 700 nm may also transmit high levels in the infrared range above 700 nm.(See the Supergel swatchbook for information on how to read S.E.D. curves.)To prolong the life of a color filter, align your ellipsoidal lamp to a flat field focus. (Get rid of the hot spot.) You can increase the distance between the lamp and the filter by using a top hat or barn door. In extreme cases, try Rosco Heat Shield or Thermashield to prolong the life of your filters.Never use a plastic filter directly in front of an open faced lamp. This will nearly always cause premature failure because the heat is trapped and it has nowhere to go except to the plastic filter. Always allow a suitable air gap.

Matrix scans provide a local resolution of the signal throughout the well and thereby provide the opportunity to monitor seeding homogeneity and local variations of the transfection efficiency. In this measurement, 225 single measurement points were available, providing an image-like insight into the well and the level of transfection efficiency. Furthermore, this scan option allows exclusion of single measurement points as outliers. The spiral averaging measurement setting does not provide this resolution. However, it requires a fraction of the time (4 min spiral averaging vs. 34 min matrix scan per full 96-well plate) and provides data of comparable quality.

Measurement:On the day of measurement, the cell supernatant was discarded, and the cells were washed 2 x for 5 min in 200 µL FluroBrite medium with 5% FBS, 2 mM glutamine and 1% pen/strep. Plates including 200 µL medium/well were  transferred to the VANTAstar plate reader and GFP and mcherry fluorescence was determined either with matrix scan or spiral averaging using the bottom optic setting to evaluate the simulated transfection efficiency. Afterwards cells were fixated in 4% PFA and stained with Hoechst 33342 for 15 min, washed 3 times in PBS, and read again with the VANTAstar using matrix scan or spiral averaging. With the measurement of the Hoechst signal, total cell counts were determined as internal standard for the evaluation of the transfection efficiency.

Filters create color by subtracting certain wavelengths of color. Thus, a red filter absorbs blue and green, allowing only the red wavelengths to pass. The process is subtractive, not additive, so the light source must emit a full spectrum.The Rosco swatchbook provides detailed information on the spectral energy curve of each filter. The curve describes the wavelengths of color transmitted through each filter. For example, Supergel 342 transmits approximately 40% of the violet and blue energy of the spectrum and 75% of the orange and red energy. It absorbs all energy in the yellow and green range.
