The BTX Gemini SC is a twin waveform generator incorporang
both square and exponenal decay waves in a single unit.
These waveform combinaons enable researchers to easily
and eciently electroporate eukaryoc and prokaryoc cells in
suspension with one easy-to-use setup. The BTX Gemini SC boasts
a wide range of voltage (10 to 3000 V, 5 V or 10 V increments),
pulse length (50 µs to 5 ms), me constant opons (which include
capacitance choices from 25 to 3275 µF in LV and 10, 25 or 50
µF in HV), mulple pulsing opon with the square waveform and
unparalleled pulse delivery accuracy.
The BTX Gemini SC, with unlimited custom protocol storage,
monitors and displays pre-pulse sample resistance as well as
delivered voltage values. The generator is controlled through a
color LCD touch screen interface. The enhanced safety features
of the BTX Gemini SC protect users as well as precious samples.
The Safety Dome allows researchers to safely work with
electroporaon cuvees, up to two at a me, giving researchers
the ability to experiment on sample volumes from 20 µl up to
800 µl.
This aordable system comes complete with the dual waveform
generator for suspension cell electroporaon, dozens of
preprogrammed protocols for commonly electroporated cells,
Safety Dome, 30 cuvees, cuvee stand, user manual, two-year
warranty, unlimited applicaon support and the same high quality
researchers have come to expect from BTX.
What is the dierence between
the Gemini X2 and the Gemini SC?
The Gemini X2 is designed to give researchers the ulmate control
and exibility in their experiments. It is possible to perform
electroporaon on ssues and organs in vivo, in utero, in ovo and
ex plant, on adherent cells, and on cells in suspension, in either
single cuvees or 96-well plates. It can be controlled remotely via
footswitch or PC, and it oers storage of pulse data. Because of
the Gemini X2 broad range of use, the specicaons are wide-
ranging, making the Gemini X2 the most versale electroporaon
system available today.
The Gemini SC is designed for researchers working to
electroporate cells in suspension in cuvees. This system cannot
accommodate mulple pulsing with the exponenal decay
waveform, remote operaon, specialty electrodes or 96-well
opons. For this reason, some of the specicaons of the Gemini
SC are not as extensive as what is available in the Gemini X2.
The BTX Gemini X2 is a highly advanced twin waveform generator
incorporang both square and exponenal decay waves in a single
unit. The BTX Gemini X2 has been designed with these waveform
combinaons to enable researchers to easily and eciently
electroporate eukaryoc cells and prokaryoc cells in all forms
with one easy-to-use setup.
The BTX Gemini X2, which can be operated via PC or remote
control, boasts a wide range of voltage (5 to 3000 V, 1 or 5 V
increments), pulse length (10 µs to 1s), me constant opons
(which include capacitance choices from 25 to 3275 µF in LV and
10, 25, 35, 50, 60, 75, 85 µF in HV), along with mulple pulsing
opons with both the square waveform and the exponenal decay
waveform, and unparalleled pulse delivery accuracy.
The BTX Gemini X2, with over 1,000 custom protocol storage,
monitors and displays pre-pulse sample resistance as well as
delivered voltage values and records logs of all experiment
parameters internally, which can be downloaded to a computer
for analysis and QC. The generator is controlled through a color
LCD touch screen interface and incorporates USB communicaons.
The pulse can also be acvated by a foot switch. The enhanced
safety features of the BTX Gemini X2 protect users as well
as precious samples. The BTX Gemini X2 is designed to give
researchers the ulmate exibility in their experiments, making it
possible to perform electroporaon on ssues and organs in vivo
(as well as in utero, in ovo, ex plant) on adherent cells, and cells in

Dome allows researchers to safely work with electroporaon
cuvees, up to two at a me, giving researchers the ability to
experiment on sample volumes from 20 µl up to 800 µl.
This state-of-the-art system comes complete with the twin
