Bio-Rad Gene Pulser Xcell Electroporation System

 

Device Description

It is a flexible, modular electroporation system used to transfect all cell types, from primary, suspension, and difficult-to-transfect cells, including T cells, to bacteria and fungi. The system consists of a main unit, two accessory modules, a capacitance extender (CE module), a pulse controller (PC module), and a ShockPod cuvette chamber.
