The BTX Gemini SC is a twin waveform generator incorporating
both square and exponential decay waves in a single unit. These
waveform combinations enable researchers to easily and efficiently
electroporate eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells in suspension with
one easy to use setup. The BTX Gemini SC boasts a wide range of
voltage (10-3000 v, 5 v or 10 v increments), pulse length
(50 μS – 5 mS, 50 μS resolution), time constant options (which
include capacitance choices from 25 to 3275 μF in LV and 10, 25
or 50 μF in HV), multiple pulsing option with the square waveform
and unparalleled pulse delivery accuracy. The BTX Gemini SC,
with unlimited custom protocol storage, monitors and displays
pre-pulse sample resistance as well as delivered voltage values.
The generator is controlled through a color LCD touch screen
interface. The enhanced safety features of the BTX Gemini SC
protect users as well as precious samples. The Safety Dome allows
researchers to safely work with electroporation cuvettes, up to
two at a time, giving researchers the ability to experiment on
sample volumes from 20 μl up to 800 μl. This affordable system
comes complete with the dual waveform generator for suspension
cell electroporation, dozens of preprogrammed protocols for
commonly electroporated cells, Safety Dome, 30 cuvettes, cuvette
stand, user manual, two year warranty, unlimited application
support and the same high quality researchers have come to
expect from BTX.
What is the difference between
the Gemini X2 and the Gemini SC?
The Gemini X2 is designed to give researchers the ultimate control
and flexibility in their experiments by making it possible to perform
electroporation on tissues and organs in vivo (as well as in utero,
in ovo, ex plant) on adherent cells, as well as cells in suspension in
either single cuvettes or 96 well plates, can be controlled remotely
via footswitch or PC, and it offers storage of pulse data. Because
of the Gemini X2’s broad range of use, the specifications are wide-
ranging, making the Gemini X2 the most versatile electroporation
system available today.
The Gemini SC is designed for researchers working to electroporate
cells in suspension in cuvettes. This system cannot accommodate
multiple pulsing with the exponential decay waveform, remote
operation, specialty electrodes or 96 well options. For this reason,
some of the specifications of the Gemini SC are not as extensive as
what is available in the Gemini X2.
The BTX Gemini X2 is a highly advanced twin waveform
generator incorporating both square and exponential decay waves
in a single unit. The BTX Gemini X2 has been designed with
these waveform combinations to enable researchers to easily and
efficiently electroporate eukaryotic cells and prokaryotic cells in
all forms with one easy to use setup. The BTX Gemini X2, which
can be operated via PC or remote control, boasts a wide range
of voltage (5-3000 v, 1 v or 5 v increments), pulse length (10
μS – 1S, 1 μS resolution), time constant options (which include
capacitance choices from 25 to 3275 μF in LV and 10, 25, 35, 50,
60, 75, 85 μF in HV), along with multiple pulsing options with
both the square waveform and the exponential decay waveform,
and unparalleled pulse delivery accuracy. The BTX Gemini X2,
with over 1,000 custom protocol storage, monitors and displays
pre-pulse sample resistance as well as delivered voltage values and
records logs of all experiment parameters internally, which can be
downloaded to a computer for analysis and QC. The generator
is controlled through a color LCD touch screen interface and
incorporates USB communications. The pulse can also be
activated by a foot switch. The enhanced safety features of the
BTX Gemini X2 protect users as well as precious samples. The BTX
Gemini X2 is designed to give researchers the ultimate flexibility in
their experiments, making it possible to perform electroporation
on tissues and organs in vivo (as well as in utero, in ovo, ex plant)
on adherent cells, and cells in suspension in either single cuvettes
or 96 well plates. The Safety Dome allows researchers to safely
work with electroporation cuvettes, up to two at a time, giving
researchers the ability to experiment on sample volumes from
20 μl up to 800 μl. This state of the art system comes complete
with the twin waveform generator for cell electroporation in
all forms, dozens of preprogrammed protocols for commonly
electroporated cells, Safety Dome, 30 cuvettes, cuvette stand, user
manual, two year warranty, unlimited application support and the
