As the electric field intensity used to electroporate HL60s increases, there is an observable progression in electroporative uptake signatures. Sweden-based Cellectricon offers the Cellaxess system, which uses capillary electrodes to directly electroporate adherent cells in the culture dishes where they are grown. To determine whether longer pulse durations or lower field strengths could be used to increase gene delivery and expression, a set of experiments was performed using small rats (200-225 g) whose chests were small enough to electroporate with higher pulse times (Figure 1C). |
