Economical electroporation system for gram-negative bacteria and yeast applications
Description
The ECM™ 399 is an exponential decay wave electroporation system specifically designed to deliver the field strengths and pulse lengths required for the simple transformation of bacteria and yeast cells. In low voltage mode the ECM 399 has a limited capability for transfecting some mammalian cell lines. The ECM 399 is ideal for basic transformation in research and academic environments. It is easy to operate, cost effective, compact in size and portable.
FEATURES
- Highest transformation efficiencies of basic bacteria and yeast strains
- Easy to operate
- Cost effective
- Compact in size and portable
- Available as complete system with cuvettes and cuvette rack
APPLICATIONS
- Basic bacteria & yeast transformation
- Mammalian transfection (limited, in low voltage mode)
