BTX融合槽用于胚胎的操作及细胞或者原生质的融合。BTX融合槽特别为细胞融合设计的结构，镀银的导电性金属合金以手指状突起阵列熔化在玻璃显微载玻片上，提供不均匀脉冲场，构成高度精准的工作区域。可用温和清洗剂清洗，乙醇或环氧乙烷杀毒。

BTX Microslides are used primarily with the ECM® 2001 Electro CellManipulator. The Microslide fits on the microscope allowingobservation of the alignment and fusion process. The Microslide 450is composed of a glass microslide and two strips of 0.5 mmstainless steel tubing which functions as electrodes to provide adivergent field. These wires are set apart at different gaps toprovide various field strengths and volumes. The Micrograbber isused to connect the Microslide 450 to the Coaxial Connection Cable,which will then be hooked up to the ECM 2001 generator. Microslide453 has two stainless steel square bars that are set apart atvarious gaps to provide homogeneous fields. The Square Post Cableis used to connect the Microslide to the Coaxial Connection Cable,which will be hooked up to the ECM 2001 generator.

Applications

The Microslides have been used for embryo manipulation1 and cell orprotoplast fusion2. Advantage of the Microslide is that the processof dimer formation can be observed under the microscope.
