Drawell SJ-500 Portable Gene Gun
The Portable Gene Gun is a portable gene gun device that enables fast and direct in situ gene transfer of cells, suitable for both transient and stable transfection. Compared with the desktop gene gun, the SJ-500 gene gun is small in size and easy to carry. It is a device with a smaller shooting area and a more uniform particle distribution. It is simpler and more time-saving in the preparation of samples with gold powder microcarriers. It is widely used in gene transformation research of animal and plant samples.
Performance Characteristics of SJ-500 Gene Gun
- Portable, and flexible for in vitro transgenic experiments;
- Low noise, high repeatability, convenient for the transformation of live animals;
- Transformation of cells with special growth needs that cannot be accomplished by other methods;
- The shooting area is small and the particles are evenly distributed, which can convert receptors of different sizes, ensuring conversion efficiency;
- Simple, fast, flexible in function, common to various cell types;
- Contribute to instant expression and stable expression;
- Only a small amount of DNA and cells are required, and no carrier DNA is required;
- Can carry out multi-plasmid co-introduction, no restriction on large fragments of DNA;
