Unpacking the System
The shipping carton in which your BTX Gemini Twin Waveform
Electroporaon System is packed has been specically designed to
provide maximum protecon to the instrument during transportaon
and normal handling condions. Upon receipt, the carton should be
examined for any external damage resulng from shipment.
Open the carton and carefully remove the BTX Gemini Twin Waveform
Electroporator and inspect the unit for any apparent damage. Save the
carton and packing materials for future transportaon and shipping
requirements.
Packing Data

included in the shipment. Inform BTX immediately if any parts are
