MicroPulser - Bio-Rad

The new MicroPulser is a simple yet versatile electroporator that enables safe and reproducible

transformation of bacteria, yeast, and other microorganisms. Transformation efficiencies much higher

than chemical methods can be achieved. Unique features of the system include:

Simple, one-button pulse delivery, attached cuvette chamber, and rapid charge-time speed

sample handling

Preset, optimized programs for commonly studied bacteria and fungi allow rapid program

selection

Arc quenching (ARQ) system significantly reduces arcing, protecting against loss of valuable

samples

Broad range of parameters for manual optimization. Manual program capability allows voltage

to be selected in a 200–3,000 V range with 10 V precision, and the pulse width to be selected in

a 1.0–4.0 ms range with 0.1 ms precision

3,000 V capability yields improved efficiency in larger-volume cuvettes

Compact, space-saving design

Audible and visual pulse indicators

Time constant and actual volts displayed to monitor reproducibility
