Scientz-2C01 Intelligent Gene Pulser

Product Introduction
The Scientz-2C01 Intelligent Gene Pulser is a microprocessor-controlled electroporation instrument designed for gene transfer and cell transfection in molecular biology research. It uses electrical pulses to facilitate the introduction of DNA and other molecules into bacteria, yeast, mammalian cells, plant cells, and other biological materials.
Featuring an integrated design, LCD display, adjustable voltage and capacitance settings, and customizable program storage, the Scientz-2C01 supports flexible experimental parameter selection, convenient operation, and reproducible electroporation workflows.

Performance Features
• Integrated design: Compact system with intuitive controls and clear LCD display.
•Microprocessor control: Precisely manages pulse discharge and experimental settings.
• Adjustable pulse parameters: Multiple high- and low-voltage, capacitance, and parallel-resistance settings support different experimental requirements.
• Custom program storage: Stores user-defined programs without a specified preset limit.
• Experiment log storage: Helps record and manage experimental operations.
• RC time constant configuration: Allows different combinations of resistance and capacitance settings.
• Efficient operation: Simplifies electroporation workflows and reduces hands-on operating time.
• Reproducible experiments: Programmable parameters support consistent experimental conditions.

Working Principle
The Scientz-2C01 uses electroporation, in which controlled electrical pulses temporarily increase cell membrane permeability, facilitating the entry of DNA or other target molecules into cells.
The instrument generates exponential-decay pulses and allows users to configure voltage, capacitance, and parallel resistance. These parameters influence pulse characteristics and can be selected according to the biological material and experimental protocol. After electroporation, cells can recover under suitable conditions for subsequent analysis.
