用于微生物、植物、真菌、酵母及哺乳动物细胞的细胞融合
The BTX Meander Fusion Chamber is a microslide with a novel design specifically used for electro cell fusion. This chamber is constructed of a conductive metal alloy, which has been deposited in a finger-like projection array on a glass microscope slide. This method of manufacturing creates a highly precise working area. The configuration is designed to give direct viewing of a surface area. This can be used for viewing dimer formation during alignment while under a microscope. The gaps are set at 0.2mm.

Applications

The Meander Fusion Chamber generates an inhomogenous field and is used for cell fusion of microorganisms, plant, fungi, yeast and mammalian cells. It is compatible with most BTX pulse generators. Cao1 used the Meander Fusion Chamber to generate quadromas secreting bifunctional antibodies. He found this method both rapid and economical to produce several quadromas in a short time.
