(Click to see larger image) The MammoZapper® version of The Cloning Gun® is a cordless, rechargeable, hand-held electroporation instrument that achieves transfection efficiencies exceeding 50% of viable cells with a variety of standard mammalian cell lines. The completely portable, hand-held design makes transformation a simple process. Just plug in one of our revolutionary disposable Pipectrode® pipetting electrode tips to The MammoZapper. Draw your cell/DNA mixture into the Pipectrode using the ergonomic precision thumbwheel-operated pump, pull the trigger to zap it, and eject your transformants into a flask - all in less than 15 seconds!


      Unlike other systems, our Pipectrode makes the time consuming process of transferring your cell/DNA mixture back and forth with cuvettes and pipettes obsolete. When you compare the low cost of The MammoZapper and its Pipectrode chambers with the cost of conventional electroporators and cuvettes, and lipofection reagents, the increased efficiency in terms of transformants per dollar is quite impressive. If you figure in time and convenience, especially in high-throughput experiments, the increased efficiency is truly remarkable. Finally, electroporation is a simple low-cost procedure for every scientist. Don't pay more for the antiquated technology offered by other manufacturers. You can use The MammoZapper right at your own bench, or for contamination-sensitive samples, take it to the sterile hood.
      The MammoZapper® version of The Cloning Gun® uses a unique non-ionic, minimally-conductive, near isotonic electroporation medium and ultra-short pulse time increases both transfection efficiency and post-zap viability. We took the guess-work out of electrical parameters by doing the electroporation research here. The Cloning Gun voltage and time parameters have been optimized to give excellent results with mammalian cells including neurons, astrocytes, neuroglia, lymphocytes, monocytes, fibroblasts, epithelial and endothelial cells from human, mouse, rat and monkey (see below). Just ask us if we have tried it on your favorite cells, or get a gun and see for yourself (there is a 30-day money-back guarantee on all Tritech Research products). The thumbwheel pump and Pipectrode® electroporation chambers are so much more user friendly than cuvettes and transfer pipettes that we guarantee The MammoZapper is the most efficient and convenient electroporator you will ever have the pleasure of discharging.
