Associate Professor Rika Numano explained, «The W / O
droplet electroporation technique has several advantages over conventional transfection techniques: small cell number required, as low as 1000 cells; small amount of DNA required, which makes it applicable for various cell types including neural cells; and changeable genome DNA.
There have been improvements in W / O -
droplet electroporation electrodes for use in disposable 96 - well plates for concurrent performance (Fig. 2).
The first authors, Assistant Professor Hirofumi Kurita and Professor Akio Mizuno, said, «W / O
droplet electroporation is operated using a DC power supply, which obviates the need for an expensive pulse generator.
