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: A gel electrophoresis system includes a base module and a camera module. The base module includes a cassette slot for receiving a gel electrophoresis cassette, and a light element that functions to illuminate the gel electrophoresis cassette. The camera module is selectively attachable to and detachable from the base module. When attached to the base module, the camera module facilitates imaging of the gel electrophoresis cassette and provides additional imaging capabilities.
