Description

100/120 V, handheld biolistic system. Includes gene gun, 5 O-rings, 5 barrel liners, 5 white cartridge holders, cartridge extractor tool, and 9 V battery. Bio-Rad's Helios gene gun is a convenient, handheld device that uses biolistic particle delivery to allow rapid and direct transfection of both in vivo and in vitro targets. The Helios gene gun can transfect a wide range of targets - any type of cell that can be made accessible to the Helios gene gun nozzle can be transformed. It uses an adjustable low-pressure helium pulse to sweep DNA-, RNA-, or biomaterial-coated gold microcarriers directly into target cells. This allows for transfer of large DNA fragments, codelivery of more than one plasmid, and requires only small amounts of DNA.
