Description

The MicroPulser Electroporator is a simple yet versatile instrument that enables safe and reproducible transformation of bacteria, yeast, and other microorganisms. Transformation efficiencies much higher than those obtained with chemical methods can be achieved.

Key Features

  • One-button pulse delivery, attached cuvette chamber, and rapid charge time for fast sample handling
  • Preset, optimized programs for commonly studied bacteria and fungi allow rapid program selection
  • Arc quenching (ARQ) system significantly reduces arcing, protecting against loss of valuable samples
  • Broad range of parameters for manual optimization. Manual programming allows voltage to be selected in a 200–3,000 V range with 10 V precision and allows pulse width to be selected in a 1.0–4.0 ms range with 0.1 ms precision
  • High-voltage 3,000 V capability yields improved efficiency in larger-volume cuvettes
  • Compact, space-saving design
  • Audible and visible pulse indicators
  • Time constant and actual volts displayed to monitor reproducibility.
