Platinum Electrode For Tissue Slices

Platinum Electrode For Tissue Slices

This electrode is designed for delicate and/or difficult tissue transfection. Ex vivo electroporation is an efficient, effective method to introduce genes, drugs or any number of molecules into ex-plant tissues. A common application is mouse brain slice for studying neuronal development. This specialty electrode makes transfection quick and simple and is compatible with both the BTX ECM 830 and ECM 2001 generator. The electrode is compromised of two parts, the glass petri dish electrode and electrode wand. The glass petri dish contains a square shaped platinum electrode chamber to secure the tissue. The wand incorporates an identical shaped platinum electrode, which is placed over the chamber to complete electroporation. This sandwich configuration ensures a homogeneous field of energy for optimum transfection.
