Description

Description

The Gene Pulser Xcell™ microbial system is for the electroporation of bacteria and fungi, as well as other applications where high-voltage pulses are applied to samples of small volume. The Gene Pulser Xcell microbial electroporation system includes the main unit, the pulse controller, or PC module, ShockPod™ cuvette chamber, five each of 0.1 and 0.2 cm sterile electroporation cuvettes.

Key Features and Benefits

  • Universal electroporator capable of transfecting all prokaryotic cell types
  • Compatible with any electroporation buffer
  • Preset protocols for most popular bacterial cell types
  • Flexible manual programming
