The Eppendorf Eporator offers a fast, simple and safe way to transform bacteria, yeast and other microorganisms with DNA/RNA.
Results are highly reproducible and, compared with chemical methods, electroporation yields significantly higher transformation efficiency, the company said.
Exposing bacteria or yeast strains to short, high-voltage electrical pulses enables macromolecules, such as plasmid DNA, to diffuse into the cell through temporary pores in the cell membrane.
Designed to deliver ideal conditions for electroporation of bacteria and yeast, the Eppendorf Eporator has been shown to give transformation efficiencies ten times higher than with chemical transformation (heat-shock method) one and 50 per cent higher than the earlier Eppendorf Electroporator 25102.
The Eppendorf Eporator is said to deliver 10 times higher transformation rates.
Two program buttons allow storage and recall of most commonly used parameters, and simple one-button operation ensures intuitive use for faster sample handling.
The Eporator has a compact, space-saving design for easy storage and transport, and comes with a USB port to facilitate export of data for analysis and GLP-compliant documentation.
This electroporator incorporates safety features that maximise user protection.
Safe electronics and an integrated electroporation chamber eliminate voltage leaks.
Eppendorf electroporation cuvettes are available in three sizes and with different gap widths.
