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
