Brief Description:
Hand-held Gene Gun (Biolistic Particle Delivery) for Gene Transfection by Scientz, Your alternative choice besides Helios Gene Gun System, High cost-effective.
The Gene Gun provides a mechanism for transporting DNA coated onto appropriate 'bullets' into living cells. It is efficient and simple to use, and has proved especially useful in transfecting cell populations or tissues that are difficult to transfect using 'classical' methods. DNA delivery with the gene gun also offers new advantages for research in such areas as DNA vaccination/genetic immunization, gene therapy, tumor biology/wound healing, plant virology and many others.

Patent No: ZL01105513.8

Features:

• Small and light, more conveniently to use
• Particle delivery is a convenient method , much easier and faster
