Exploring Flow Electroporation for Cell Engineering
Cell engineering has numerous applications, from cell modification for cell-based therapies to the production of therapeutic antibodies. One method to modify a cell genome is to use electroporation – an electrical charge that increases the permeability of the cell membrane – to introduce DNA or other small molecules to the cell. MaxCyte has pioneered …
