Tissue Slice Petri Dish Electrode

Applications

  • Ex-Vivo Tissues Gene or Drug Delivery

This new electrode is designed for delicate and/or difficult tissue transfection. Ex vivo electropoartion is an efficient, effective method to introduce genes, drugs or any number of molecules into a tissue. A common application is mouse brain slice for studying neuronal development. This specialty electrode makes transfection quick and simple and is compatible withthe BTX ECM 830 and ECM 2001 generator. The electrode is compromised of two parts, the dish and wand. The petri dish contains a 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
