MP-100 Microporator - pipette tip based electroporator
 Overview
Microporation is a novel electroporation technology developed by
Digital Bio Technology and supplied by Labtech
International. Microporation is unique in replacing
the cuvette electrode with a pipette tip-style chamber
as the electroporation space.
This unique technology minimises heat generation and
oxide formation and ensures a uniform electric field
(factors responsible for cell death in conventional
elecroporation).
Great transfection efficiency and cell viability are only
the beginning of the benefits from the new
Microporation Technology.....
 High transfection efficiency
Mammalian cell lines, primary cells, suspension cells
In-tip electroporation for true aseptic transfection
10µl or 100µl sample volume
High performance, fully interactive pulse generator
Sterile, disposable microporaion tips
Quick, easy and cost effective
We have found the microporator ideal for transfection of dissociated neurons.
Transfection efficiencies are at least as good as those achieved with lipofection,
biolistic transformation or other electoporators. In addition, the very small volumes,
and hence cell numbers, required for the microporator means that from a practical
and ethical point of view this is the machine of choice for neuronal transfection in our lab.

Our group have had very good results using the MP-100. For example, we
have obtained over 95% transfection efficiency of siRNAs in MIN6 cells.
