Abstract: An electroporation system including one or more of a pipette, a pipette tip, a pipette docking assembly, and a pulse generator. The pipette docking assembly includes a pipette station, a pipette station guard, and a reservoir (e.g., a buffer tube). A method for transfecting a cell with a payload including providing an electroporation system, providing the cell, providing the payload, introducing the cell and the payload into a pipette tip, and electroporating the cell within the pipette tip by operating the electroporation system.

Abstract: A protein transfer system includes at least one base configured to receive one or more consumable protein transfer stacks and at least one lid configured to cover the base. The lid(s) comprise(s) one or more electrodes for supplying current to the one or more consumable protein transfer stacks. The protein transfer system further includes at least one voltage source configured to supply the current to the one or more consumable protein transfer stacks, one or more processors, and one or more hardware storage devices storing instructions that are executable by the one or more processors to configure the protein transfer system to control operation of the one or more voltage sources.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods of electroporation protocol optimization. Embodiments include electroporation machines capable of carrying out test protocols including multiple user-designated parameters. The protocols and parameters can be carried out on samples comprising cells, including portions of a sample, to determine optimum parameters for electroporation for different samples. The systems and methods of optimization preferably use electroporation cartridges, electroporation instruments and systems and methods of electroporation using these devices and systems. In some embodiments, electroporation cartridges comprise an electroporation chamber and electrodes.

Abstract: A package including a plurality of absorbent articles, and recloseable packaging. The packaging includes a flexible pocket having a hollow interior, an opening extending into the interior, a flap for covering the opening, and a closure positioned on the pocket and/or the flap for releasably holding the flap in a closed position. The closure permits the flap to be positioned in a different location on the pocket during successive closings when successive articles are removed from the interior of the pocket to permit the packaging to conform to the remaining articles in the interior of the pocket.
