The MaxCyte ExPERT GTx is the only instrument available on the market that can perform transfection of human cells at a scale compatible with large-scale genome engineering applications: up to 20 billion cells per experiment. The MaxCyte offers high efficiency of electroporation, low cytotoxicity and high flexibility through its unique flow electroporation technology, in which cells are pumped through an integrated electroporation circuit. Competing instruments that lack the flow electroporation capacity are not compatible with large-scale genome engineering applications.
