Gene Pulser Xcell Electroporation Systems
Gene Pulser Xcell modular electroporation systems include a main unit, two accessory modules, and the ShockPod™ cuvette chamber.
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
- Gene Pulser Xcell Total Electroporation System (1652660) — the complete electroporation system for transfection of both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells; square-wave and exponential delivery, includes both the CE module, and the PC module
- Gene Pulser Xcell Eukaryotic Electroporation System (1652661) — for the electroporation of most eukaryotic cells, including mammalian cells and plant protoplasts; square-wave delivery, includes the CE module
- Gene Pulser Xcell Microbial Electroporation System (1652662) — for the electroporation of bacteria and fungi, as well as other applications where high-voltage pulses are applied to samples of small volume and high resistance; exponential-wave delivery, includes the PC module
More Information
- Features modifiable delivery parameters including time constant, actual voltage applied, pulse interval, and pulse time, depending on the waveform (exponential or square) chosen
- Provides a choice of programs for manual operation, preset protocols, user protocols, and an optimization protocol
- Compatible with 0.1 cm, 0.2 cm, and 0.4 cm Gene Pulser/MicroPulser Electroporation Cuvettes
- Compatible with any electroporation buffer, including Bio-Rad's Gene Pulser Electroporation Buffer
