Details

The ECM 830 is a versatile electroporation system suitable for applications for gene, drug and protein delivery including: CRISPR, mammalian cells, in vivo, ex vivo, in ovo tissue, ex plant and nuclear transfer. 

ECM 830 GENERATOR

The ECM 830 is a square wave pulse generator designed for in vitro and in vivo applications. The versatility of the ECM 830 applications for gene, drug and protein delivery include; mammalian cells, in vivo, ex vivo tissue, zebra fish tissue and embryos, nuclear transfer, embryo manipulation, plant protoplast and basic bacteria and yeast transformations.

The ECM 830 can be used in combination with a wide array of BTX specialty electrodes and accessories to enhance your molecular and drug delivery experiments.

This instrument is intended for Research and Pre-Clinical use only and is not for use in diagnostic or clinical procedures.

FEATURES

  • A wide range of voltages from 5 to 3,000 V
  • Pulse durations from 10 μsec to 999 ms
  • Pre-Pulse Resistance Check, Over-Current Pulse Abort, and Instrument Arc Protection Safety Features
  • Easy to use touchscreen user interface
  • Logs of every pulse delivered for QC and troubleshooting

IN VIVO APPLICATIONS

  • Mammalian cell transfection
  • In vitro, in vivo, ex vivo and in ovo tissue transfection
  • Nuclear transfer
  • Ex plant tissue transfection
  • Plant protoplast transfection
  • siRNA libraries
  • High throughput 25- and 96-well electroporation

ADHERENT CELL TRANSFECTION

The ECM 830 generator coupled with the Petri Pulser electrode or the adherent cell electrode allows researchers to avoid the trypsinization of their cell by electroporating adherent cells directly in the dish they are growing in. The Petri Pulser electrode is ideal for 6-well plates and the adherent cell electrodes for 12-well plates.

HIGH THROUGHPUT (HT) ELECTROPORATION (45-0664 and 45-0666)

The High Throughput (HT) 96- and 25-well systems offer the advantage of multi-well electroporation technology for processing multiple samples in seconds. 

This permits a large number of samples to be quickly electroporated using high throughput plate handler technology. Using the HT Multi-Well plates instead of traditional cuvettes, the researcher can transition from a single cuvette to either a 96-well or 25-well electroporation plate by using a plate handler. This increases yields and the number of experiment runs in a single day. Experiments take seconds to run, allowing for quick and efficient optimization of the electrical and biological parameters. Once optimized, samples are rapidly processed increasing yields and saving valuable time and money.

The key to the HT System is the combination of the ECM 830 Generator with the Plate Handler and multi-well plates. The Plate Handler holds the plates and delivers the pulse(s) to the wells using parameters set in the ECM 830 generator.

MONITORING OPTION

The ENHANCER 3000 allows the researcher to monitor and track key electrical parameters used in electroporation applications. The electrical pulse data is captured as both a graphic display of the wave form and electrical output values following each electroporation experiment. 

AUTOMATIC POLARITY SWITCHING

Combine the ECM 830 with the Pulse Switcher to incorporate automatic bipolar switching into electroporation protocols. Polarity switching enhances transfection efficiency by preventing transfectant accumulation at a single electrode and enhancing delivery to the target cells or tissue.
