Bio-Rad Gene Pulser Xcell Electroporation System

Description

The Gene Pulser Xcell System is a flexible, modular electroporation system for transfecting every cell type from primary, suspension, and difficult-to-transfect cells, including T cells, to bacteria and fungi. The system is composed of a main unit, two accessory modules, the capacitance extender (CE module) and the pulse controller (PC module), and a ShockPod cuvette chamber. Features and Benefits Universal electroporation, transfects all cell types, from primary, stem, and T cells to bacteria and fungi Flexibility with your experiment parameters for the highest transfection efficiency and viability Preset protocols, ready-to-use preoptimized protocols for frequently used mammalian and bacterial cell types Manual operation, allows for entry and storage of new parameters or editing of all parameters Optimization protocols, enables the best conditions to be determined using incremental voltage steps Exponential and square waveforms, allows for optimal delivery Confidence in your results, uses PulseTrac circuitry and arc-protection features to ensure sample protection and reproducible results Protocol library, collection of electroporation protocols for every cell type including primary, immortal, and bacterial cells Prevalidated published protocols, saves time optimizing conditions Easily accessed data management, storage and recall of parameters and results from previous 100 experiments, useful for troubleshooting Output Waveform: Exponential or square Output Voltage: 10 – 3,000 V Capacitance: 10 – 500 V, 25 – 3,275 µF in 25 µF increments, 500 – 3,000 V, 10, 25, 50 µF Resistance (parallel): 50 – 1,000 Ω in 50 Ω increments, plus infinity Sample resistance: 20 Ω minimum at 10 – 2,500 V, 600 Ω minimum at 2,500 – 3,000 V Square-wave timing: 10 – 500 V: 0.05 – 10 ms in 0.05 ms increments, 10 – 100 ms pulse in 1 ms increments, 1 – 10 pulses, 0.1 – 10 sec interval/ 500 – 3,000 V: 0.05 – 5 ms in 0.05 ms increments, 1 – 2 pulses, 5 sec minimum interval Dimensions (WxDxH): 310 x 300 x 280 mm Weight: 11.6 kg
