Description (Main Unit)

The Gene Pulser Xcell™ main unit is part of the Gene Pulser Xcell system. The Gene Pulser Xcell system is a modular electroporation system that consists of a main unit, two accessory modules (the capacitance extender or CE module, and the pulse controller or PC module), and the ShockPod™ cuvette chamber.

Required for Operation

The main unit requires either the CE module and/or the PC module for operation.

  • CE module is recommended for electroporation of most eukaryotic cells, including mammalian cells and plant protoplasts
  • PC module is recommended for electroporation of bacteria and fungi, as well as other applications where high-voltage pulses are applied to samples of small volume and high resistance

Specifications (Main Unit)

  • Waveform: Exponential or square
  • Capacitance, µF: 10, 25, 50
  • Sample resistance, Ω: 20 minimum at 200–2,500 V; 600 minimum at 2,500–3,000 V

Description (ShockPod)

The Gene Pulser Xcell™ ShockPod™ cuvette chamber includes integral leads for connection to the Gene Pulser Xcell, Gene Pulser® II, or MicroPulser™ electroporators. The Gene Pulser Xcell ShockPod cuvette chamber requires the Gene Pulser Xcell main unit along with the PC and/or CE module for operation.

Key Features and Benefits

  • Designed for one-handed use — allows rapid and easy operation
  • Cuvette slot design — ensures electroporation cuvette is inserted in the proper orientation
  • Safety interlock — prevents pulse from being delivered to cuvette when the chamber is open

Included:

  • 1x Gene Pulser Xcell Main Unit #1652666 (RRP £7,208)

  • 1x Gene Pulser Xcell ShockPod Cuvette Chamber #1652669 (RRP £777)

Both the Main Unit and the ShockPod were purchased by a lab that closed down before they had a chance to use the equipment. They are still in their original, sealed packaging and include all manuals and cables. Essentially brand new – never used.
