Electroporation Machines

Electroporation machines enable the introduction of exogenous nucleic acids and other molecules into cells. Processing assemblies or cuvettes filled with cells and DNA, RNA, or protein are placed into the device. Then electroporation systems create pores in cells with electric pulses that temporarily disrupt plasma membranes, allowing exogenous material to enter cells.

These instruments are engineered to accommodate a diverse range of both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells, Applications of electroporation devices include: microbial research, plant studies, work with primary cells, and the manipulation of stem cells. Electroporation systems are designed to ensure efficient and rapid transfection while minimizing cell damage. This is crucial in pharmaceutical research, where preserving cellular health is essential.

Considerations when buying an electroporation machine include: data recording and analysis, throughput, and application and research goals.
