Notice Title

NCA21150 - Scalable Transfection System

Notice Description

a validated platform for cell transfection using flow electroporation. The system enables rapid and efficient transfection of any kind of cell with any molecule (plasmids, proteins, protein complexes, drugs, mRNA, siRNA) at any scale. The sterile, closed system provides consistency, flexibility, scalability and loading efficiency while avoiding the inherent drawbacks of alternative methods

Lot Information

Lot 1

The MaxCyte ExPERT GTx is the only instrument available on the market that can perform transfection of human cells at a scale compatible with large-scale genome engineering applications: up to 20 billion cells per experiment. The MaxCyte offers high efficiency of electroporation, low cytotoxicity and high flexibility through its unique flow electroporation technology, in which cells are pumped through an integrated electroporation circuit. Competing instruments that lack the flow electroporation capacity are not compatible with large-scale genome engineering applications.
