We offer a variety of universal-fit Invitrogen electroporation cuvettes for use with E. coli, yeast, and mammalian cells. Our electroporation cuvettes are available in several gap widths for optimal transformation efficiency for your specific cell type.
Invitrogen electroporation cuvettes are precision built from high quality material to provide optimal transformation efficiency of foreign DNA into host bacterial, yeast, and mammalian cells. The cuvettes are compatible with all standard electroporation devices on the market. The advantages of these cuvettes include:
Invitrogen electroporation cuvettes are available in gap widths of 0.1 cm, 0.2 cm, and 0.4 cm; the cuvette caps are color coded for gap width. Table 1 lists the compatibility between the cuvette gap width and cell type. The cuvettes are sterilized with gamma irradiation, individually wrapped, and packaged in a bag of 50.
0.1 cm cuvettes 25 kV/cm | 0.2 cm cuvettes 12.5 kV/cm | 0.4 cm cuvettes 6.25 kV/cm | |

We do not recommend re-using electroporation cuvettes because washing cannot guarantee removal of all foreign DNA, and cuvettes cannot be easily sterilized. Also, metal plates are oxidized during the electroporation pulse so the same transformation efficiency cannot be achieved.
Follow the optimized protocols for the cells and cuvettes that you are using.
In addition to competent cells, we offer a broad suite of products for the cloning workflow.
