The Gene Pulser Xcell™ Electroporation System is a modular electroporation system for transfecting every cell type
- Modifiable parameters include time constant, actual voltage applied, pulse interval, pulse time and exponential or square waveform
- Preset protocols, optimization protocols, manual operation and/or user protocols
- The most common mammalian and bacterial cell types
- Widely cited in science literature
- Many published protocols
- Storage and recall of parameters used in the previous 100 experiments
- Useful for troubleshooting
- PulseTrac™ circuitry and arc-protection
- Reproducibility and sample protection
Three systems are available. The Gene Pulser Xcell™ Total Electroporation System is used for electroporation of all cell types, including eukaryotic primary cells, cell lines, plant protoplasts, bacteria, and fungi including yeast. The Gene Pulser Xcell™ Eukaryotic Electroporation System is designed for electroporation of eukaryotic cells and plant protoplasts, and the Gene Pulser Xcell™ Microbial Electroporation System is for bacteria and fungi.
The system includes a main unit, a ShockPod™ Cuvette Chamber, and, depending on your target system(s), a choice of the capacitance extender (CE module), the pulse controller (PC module), or both. Systems with the PC module can be used for any other applications that require high-voltage pulses applied to small sample volumes.
