Petri Dish Electrode

The Petri Dish Electrode is designed to be used with a 100 mm Petri dish that functions as the electroporation chamber. The Petri Dish Electrode is used to electroporate adherent cells or tissue grown in a petri dish.

To perform electroporation, simply add the exogenous molecule of interest into the electroporation buffer. The buffer can range in volume from 10 ml to 50 ml and is added to the cells grown in the plate. The electrode is lowered into the petri dish containing the sample and pulsed.

The electrode assembly has a 2 mm gap size. It contains parallel stainless steel electrodes which generate a homogeneous field. The Petri Dish Electrode is compatible with Gemini X2, ECM 630, ECM 830, ECM 2001+, and Legacy ECM 2001 Generators. The Petri Dish Electrode connects directly to Gemini X2, ECM 630, and ECM 830 generators. Please see table and connection diagram below for required cables and adapters for use with ECM 2001+ and Legacy ECM 2001.

REQUIRED CABLES

USE OF PETRI DISH ELECTRODES WITH THE GEMINI X2 AND ECM 830 ELECTROPORATION SYSTEMS
