Description

The ECM 2001 is a versatile electro cell manipulation instrument. It generates an AC waveform for benign dielectrophoretic alignment of cells. With only microsecond switch-over time from AC to DC, efficient fusion can take place. After fusion AC re-application keeps cells together for the rounding off process. The DC square pulse section can be used as a stand alone powerful electroporation system with a wide range of voltages and pulse lengths capable of operating into low impedance loads.
Somatic cell nuclear transfer technique is applicable for the production of stem cells. The nuclear transfer between an oocyte and a donor cell is accomplished by cell fusion using electrofusion technique. An electrical pulse is applied thus fusing the oocyte and the donor cell. Resulting blastocyst can be further modified to produce immunologically compatible stem cells. Also called the Roslin Technique, it is applicable for use on a variety of animal cells.
