Features and Benefits
Universal electroporation — transfects all cell types, from primary and stem cells to bacteria and yeast
Preset protocols — include the most common mammalian and bacterial cell types
Flexibility — choice of programs for preset protocols, optimization protocols, manual operation, and/or user protocols
Protocol library — collection of electroporation protocols for every cell type including primary, immortal, and bacterial cells
Data management — enables storage and recall of parameters used in the previous 100 experiments, useful for troubleshooting
Reproducibility — uses PulseTrac™ circuitry and arc-protection features to ensure reproducibility and sample protection
