Description

The same quality for a lower price

These electroporation cuvettes enable efficient transfer of DNA, RNA, and proteins into a wide range of cell types used with standard electroporation instruments. While cap shape and color can vary by brand, cuvettes must meet strict manufacturing tolerances to ensure consistent pulse delivery and reproducible results.

They are manufactured under contract by a partner that is ISO 9001 certified, ITAR registered, and FDA registered. Over the years, a quality assurance program has been developed to meet and exceed every measurable qualification and performance parameter. Because unnecessary markups and overhead are avoided, these cuvettes are priced at nearly half the cost of many competing brands. So we ask: why pay more for equal or inferior quality?

Universal fit

These electroporation cuvettes fit most common electroporation systems, including platforms from Bio-Rad, BTX, Lonza/Amaxa (Nucleofector II and 2b only), Invitrogen, and Eppendorf. The manufacturing partner also supports a broad range of electroporation systems (including those from Nepa Gene), demonstrating excellent performance across diverse cell types including primary cells, organoids, stem cells, marine protists, mammalian zygotes, and more.

Built for demanding applications

Electroporation is widely documented as a high-efficiency delivery method that can preserve strong viability, even in difficult or sensitive human cell lines. To achieve reliable field strength and consistent results, these cuvettes are constructed with burr-free, specially processed electrodes and virgin, medical-grade polycarbonate.

These design choices support high-performance results in demanding applications, including:

•  Hard-to-transfect organisms (e.g., diatoms, Chlamydomonas)
• Sensitive immune cells (T cells and B cells)
• Stem cells and other fragile cell types
• Delivery of plasmid DNA, siRNA, and CRISPR/Cas9 reagents
