Gene Pulser MXcell™ Electroporation System
Gene Pulser MXcell electroporation systems are no longer available, but current users can order electroporation plates and cuvettes for their transfection applications.
Overview
Discontinued Product
The Gene Pulser MXcell electroporation system is no longer available. However, current users can order electroporation plates and cuvettes for their transfection applications.
Existing Gene Pulser MXcell systems can be used to electroporate as few as 105 cells by using a 96-well plate or as many as 106 to 107 cells in a 12-well plate or in a cuvette.
Alternatives to the Gene Pulser MXcell system for meeting your transfection needs include:
- The Gene Pulser Xcell™ systems — modular electroporation systems for transfecting every cell type. They include a main unit, a ShockPod™ cuvette chamber, and your choice of accessory modules: the capacitance extender (CE) module and the pulse controller (PC) module
- Lipid transfection reagents — provide optimal transfection efficiencies for nucleic acid delivery into mammalian cells. General use and RNAi-optimized transfection reagents are available
