Overview

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 of the Gene Pulser Xcell Electroporator

  • 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
  • Save time optimizing
    • 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

Electroporation System Options

More Information
