Product Overview

The 4D-Nucleofector® Core Unit is the controlling unit of the 4D-Nucleofector® System. The different functional units can be added in a modular way to the 4D-Nucleofector® Core Unit and each is suited for different applications:

  • X Unit: Supporting Nucleofection® of various cell numbers in different formats (16-well Nucleocuvette® Strips or 100 µL Nucleocuvette® Vessels
  • Y Unit: Enabling adherent Nucleofection® in 24-well culture plates
  • LV Unit: Large-scale transfection of up to 1x109 cells
  • 96-well Unit: Higher throughput Nucleofection® Experiments in 96-well Nucleocuvette® Plates

Transfections per minute:

  • X Unit (16-well Nucleocuvette® Strips): 16-32 reactions
  • X Unit (100 µL Nucleocuvette® Vessels): 20-26 reactions
  • Y Unit (Dipping Electrodes): 8-10 reactions
  • LV Unit (LV Nucleocuvette® Cartridges): 2-3 mL
  • 96-well Unit (96-well Nucleocuvette® Plate): 32 - 44 reactions

 

There are cell type-specific Optimized Protocols or recommendations available in our knowledge database. In these Optimized Protocols the best Nucleofection® Conditions are indicated. In addition, we share our experience and knowledge for treatment of individual cell types.
