Description

Tweezertrodes are reusable, non-invasive, tweezer-styleTweezertrodes consist of a standard 11.5cm tweezer that has been modified with stainless steel circular or disk electrodes at the tip. The gap between electrode tips can be adjusted from under 1mm to over 2cm. Tweezertrodes are available in various sizes and two different metal alloys (Platinum or Stainless Steel). They may be cleaned with a mild detergent and sterilized with 70% ethanol or ethylene oxide. These electrodes connect to BTX generators using the Tweezertrode connection cables. They are compatible with the ECM 830 and ECM 2001 generators. Following localized or systemic injection of the molecule of interest, the Tweezertrodes electrode disks are used to grasp the tissue of interest. An electroporation pulse is then applied, initiating pore formation and incorporation of the molecule into the cells of the tissue in direct contact with the electrode disk. Tweezertrodes can be used for a variety of applications, including
