Bio-Rad Gene Pulser II

The Bio-Rad Gene Pulser II is a used electroporation system that has supported countless molecular biology labs in introducing DNA, RNA, and proteins into bacterial, mammalian, and plant cells. This unit generates precise, controllable electrical pulses that transiently open cell membranes, enabling efficient transformation and transfection protocols that are foundational to gene expression studies, cloning workflows, and vaccine development research. Sold in tested condition, it retains the functional accuracy that made it a staple bench instrument in academic and industrial labs alike. Researchers value this instrument for its ability to deliver both exponential decay and square wave pulses, giving flexibility across a wide range of cell types and experimental protocols. Its rugged analog controls and dependable circuitry have made it a long standing workhorse in labs performing routine bacterial transformation as well as more delicate mammalian cell electroporation. The Gene Pulser II remains relevant in teaching labs and smaller research groups that need consistent transformation efficiency without investing in newer, more expensive platforms. This used unit is a solid choice for labs looking to add or replace electroporation capacity at a reduced cost. It is well suited to molecular cloning, plasmid delivery, and other nucleic acid transfer applications central to genetics and microbiology research, and it continues to perform reliably in settings where established protocols already depend on its pulse characteristics.
