R-50x3^TM

Small volume applications and optimization, multi-well

R-50x3™

Research & development applications

Efficient 3 sample processing per transfection

Easy cell recovery with V-shaped well design

Configuration: 3-well, 55 µL maximum volume per well
Cell Range: 2.25x10⁵ – 1.1x10⁷per well
Volume Range: 45 - 55 µL per well
Application: Research Use Only
Catalog: ER050U3-10

Graph Details: Primary human natural killer (NK) cells were collected from 4 individual donors and activated overnight in 1 ng/mL IL-15. The following day, 3 - 4 x 10⁶ NK cells along with 5 μg mRNA GFP and 45 μL MaxCyte Electroporation Buffer was loaded into each well of the R-50x3 processing assembly and the OC-100 was used as the device control. Cells were electroporated on the MaxCyte GTx™ instrument, then collected and cultured in 1 ng/mL IL-15 media for 24 hours then assessed by flow cytometry. Graphs show the average results and standard error of cells taken from 4 individual donors electroporated with 5 processing assemblies, 2 used for the same donor, with each well of the R-50x3 analyzed individually. The negative control is the average of 4 samples.

Graph Details: K562 cells at 5x10⁷ cells/mL were electroporated with plasmid DNA encoding GFP at low energy (Opt-1) and high energy (Opt-10). Four R-50x8 PAs and eight OC-100 PAs were evaluated at each energy level for both GFP expression and cell viability 48 hours post-transfection via flow cytometry analysis. Results are an average of 16 wells for the R-50x8 and 8 wells for the OC-100 for each energy level.
