Apparatus for electrophoretic transfer of nucleic acids, peptides, proteins and/or other biologically active molecules into eukaryotic cells comprises two capacitors, each connected to a high voltage source. Apparatus for electrophoretic transfer of nucleic acids, peptides, proteins and/or other biologically active molecules into eukaryotic cells comprises two capacitors (7, 8), each connected to a high voltage source (5, 6). Each capacitor discharges via a power transistor (9, 10) into a cuvette holding the cell sample. The first capacitor is charged with a preset voltage U 1 and the second with a voltage U 2 given by the equation: U 2 = R x I 2 x K 2, R 1the resistance of the cuvette and suspension in it I 2the desired current K 2a correction factor based on the properties of thee cuvette ACTIVITY : None given. MECHANISM OF ACTION : Gene therapy. No supporting data provided. |
