Do you want to take the next step in your CRISPR-CAS9 projects, making the injection of biomolecules in your cell lines more efficient? You can now increase the viability of injected embryos with WPI’s MICRO-ePORE, which offers improved repeatability and functionality for pinpoint cell penetration for targeted microinjections in transgenesis.
Improve Embryo Survival with Pinpoint Cell Penetration
Principle of MICRO-ePORE™ Technology
- Classic Microinjection of biomolecules with capillaries causes permanent damage to the cell membrane, and the chance of lysis is high.
- Electroporation is a shot-gun, random approach that cause lots of membrane holes in cells, also increasing the chance of lysis.
- The MICRO-ePORE uses a very localized rearrangement of the charged double lipid membrane, allowing the biomolecules solution to get into the cells during injection. This leaves the rest of the membrane intact, reducing lysis and improving cell survival.

The EVOM is a special kind of voltmeter for measuring electrical properties across a layer of cells in culture or a biological membrane. Here's a few things I like about the new EVOM3.

An Ussing Chamber is used when performing barrier studies across an excised epithelial tissue. Similar measurements can be made in well plates using an EVOM series TEER Measurement Meter, which is used for epithelial tissue that is grown to confluence in a cell culture well. While EVOM measurements are only qualitative, your throughput is much greater with an EVOM3. The EVOMs are portable and much more economical than an Ussing Chamber. Here Ben Dubansky, PhD explains the differences between EVOMs and Ussing chambers.

The EVOM is a special kind of voltmeter for measuring electrical properties across a layer of cells in culture or a biological membrane. It is the most commonly used commercial system for measuring across a layer of cultured cells. We are measuring TEER (TER) - Transepithelial Electrical Resistance. The EVOM3 allows us to zoom in and measure either resistance or voltage across these membranes or cells in culture.
