Researcher Testimonials

“I have found the MOS advanced electroporation system to be a wonderful asset to my laboratory for high throughput screening of antisense oligonucleotides, including siRNA.  Prior to this system, electroporation was seen as the last option for cell transfection because the process was so cumbersome.  The introduction of this system has allowed my lab to add new cell lines to our portfolio due to the ease of optimization.  This high throughput approach has also allowed us to screen more compounds due to the speed of experimentation.” – Lisa M. Wenrich, Research Associate at Isis Pharmaceuticals in Carlsbad, CA.

"We/I have found that of the available methods for transfection of primary cell cultures i.e. DEA/Dextran or commercial product including Fugene or Lipfectamine, electroporation has most consistently yielded the best results for transfection efficiency, level of transfection, cell viability, and ease of transfection. The advantages offered by the ability to perform multiple manipulations at that same time with combinations of overexpression and RNAi-mediated knockdown of genes in different molecular pathways is obvious. This type of technology will allow researchers to bridge the gap between functional genomic screens and validation of candidate gene function in primary cells." Branden R. Nelson, Ph.D, University of Washington, Seattle, WA.

“Just used the electroporator for the first time this week and it worked perfectly for the transfection of your HCV RNA into our cell line.” Darren H.

“Thanks so much, you are the best tech support person I’ve ever encountered!” Marianna G.

“The information you provided was very helpful, the best I’ve received since I purchase the ECM2001 2 years ago.” John C.

“Thank you very much for your technique support, our electrofusion has great improvement and great success now (I have been bothered by too many clones :D)." Wei G.

"We have found the electrofusion to be almost too good and we are getting a lot of hybridomas, it’s a good place to be we just need to work out how to deal with the increased efficiency." Jennifer M.

"Thank you kindly for this very detailed response, which is very, very helpful in my research.  Furthermore, the two protocols you sent are extremely helpful and above and beyond the call of duty.  BTX will be absolutely be one of the first companies that enters my mind should I ever cross the theoretical threshold and actually start performing experiments using electroporation, or if I know of others looking for electroporation devices.  Thank you for your time; your detailed response is most appreciated and has completely answered all my current questions."
