Bio-Rad Gene Pulser Transfection Apparatus with Capacitor Discharge for Cell Electroporation

The Bio-Rad Gene Pulser Transfection Apparatus is a precision capacitor discharge pulse generator designed for controlled exponential pulse delivery in cell electroporation and gene transfection applications. Key features include:

• Voltage Output: Produces pulses up to 2,500 volts at over 125 amperes, supporting electroporation field strengths up to 12,500 V/cm with 0.2 cm cuvettes or 6,250 V/cm with 0.4 cm cuvettes (cuvettes sold separately except included pack).
• Pulse Parameters: Offers selectable capacitance settings of 0.25, 1.0, 3.0, and 25.0 µF with digital readout of voltage and capacitance. Measures actual delivered voltage and resistance-capacitance (RC) time constant post-pulse for precise control and reproducibility.
• Capacitance Extender Compatibility: Optional Capacitance Extender accessories expand capacitance range to 125, 250, 500, and 960 µF with a maximum operating voltage of 450 V, enhancing versatility for diverse cell types.
• Applications: Optimized for electroporation of eukaryotic cells including mammalian cells, primary and stem cells, and plant protoplasts, making it essential for molecular biology, biotechnology workflows, gene editing, and synthetic biology research.
• Included Consumables: Comes with a pack of 27 high-quality 0.1 cm-gap electroporation cuvettes, compatible with this unit and other Bio-Rad electroporators (Gene Pulser MXcell, Gene Pulser Xcell, MicroPulser), facilitating reproducible bacterial, yeast, and mammalian cell transformation.

This electroporation system is widely adopted in biotechnology and molecular diagnostics laboratories for reliable gene delivery, bioprocessing, and cell engineering protocols. It supports critical research fields such as synthetic biology, biomanufacturing, and cellular reprogramming by providing highly controlled electrical pulse parameters for efficient transfection outcomes.
