transportation and normal handling conditions. Upon receipt, the
carton should be examined for any external damage resulting from
shipment.
Open the carton and carefully remove the BTX Gemini Twin
Waveform Electroporator and inspect the unit for any apparent
damage. Save the carton and packing materials for future
transportation and shipping requirements.
