Ingenio® Electroporation Cuvettes: Precision Universal Consumables
The Ingenio® Electroporation Cuvettes are precision-engineered consumables designed to facilitate high-efficiency gene delivery across a wide range of applications. Available in both 0.2 cm and 0.4 cm gap widths, these cuvettes ensure uniform pulse delivery and reproducibility for various sample volumes. They provide a high-quality, universal alternative to proprietary system-specific consumables, allowing researchers to maintain rigorous experimental standards while optimising laboratory budgets.
These cuvettes are manufactured with durable electrodes and strict gap tolerances to ensure consistent electrical fields, which is critical for maintaining high cell viability and transfection efficiency. The 0.2 cm format (Geneflow No. E7-0524) is optimised for 100 µl volumes and is the standard choice for Lonza Amaxa® Nucleofector® protocols. The 0.4 cm format (Geneflow No. E7-0528) accommodates larger 250 µl volumes, making it ideal for systems such as the Bio-Rad® Gene Pulser® or Harvard-BTX® units when higher throughput or larger cell numbers are required.
Key Benefits:
- Universal Compatibility: Seamless instrument integration. Designed to fit major electroporation systems. The 0.2 cm cuvettes are compatible with Lonza Amaxa® Nucleofector® (I, II/2B), while both sizes fit Bio-Rad® Gene Pulser® and BTX® units.
- Precision Engineering: Consistent pulse delivery. Manufactured with exacting gap tolerances to ensure uniform electric field application, minimising experimental variability and ensuring reproducible results.
- Flexible Volume Options: Tailored to your protocol. Available in 0.2 cm gap (100 µl volume) for standard processing or 0.4 cm gap (250 µl volume) for larger scale transfection needs.
- Cost-Effective Quality: Reduce operational spend. Delivers the same high performance as instrument-specific branded cuvettes at a significantly more accessible price point.
Technical Insights
Ingenio® cuvettes are rigorously tested to withstand high-voltage pulses required for effective permeabilisation without compromising structural integrity. They are fully validated for use with the Ingenio® Electroporation Solution to deliver DNA and siRNA into hard-to-transfect cell types, including primary cells and stem cells.
