Products
Automated small-volume high-throughput transfection system
Automated small-volume liquid-handler integrated with continuous-flow transfection to run up to 96 conditions per experiment for discovery, screening, and process optimization (sample volumes 50–100 µL; run time ~10–15 minutes).
Closed-system large-scale transfection system
Closed-system instrument for manufacturing-scale continuous-flow transfection able to process high cell concentrations and a wide range of volumes to support clinical manufacturing workflows.
Transfection consumables and buffers
Single-use consumables and buffer formulations sized for small-, medium- and large-volume transfections, including single-use tips, medium- and large-volume cartridges, and formulated transfection buffer products.
Cloud-based profile designer and downloads
Web portal and profile designer for creating, encrypting, and distributing platform delivery profiles and for downloading IFUs, operating manuals, plate templates, and software updates.
