- Comprised of two parts, glass petri dish and electrode wand
- Wand, cables included
The Petri dish platinum electrodes are designed for delicate and/or difficult ex vivo tissue transfection. Ex vivo electroporation is an efficient, effective method to introduce genes, drugs or any number of molecules into ex-plant tissues. A common application is mouse brain slice for studying neuronal development. This specialty electrode makes transfection quick and simple and is compatible with the BTX ECM 830, ECM 2001+, Gemini X2 and Legacy ECM 2001 generators.
The electrode is comprised of two parts, the glass petri dish electrode and electrode wand. The glass petri dish contains a square shaped platinum electrode chamber to secure the tissue. The wand incorporates an identical shaped platinum electrode, which is placed over the chamber to complete electroporation. This sandwich configuration ensures a homogeneous field of energy for optimum transfection.
