活體轉基因--鉗狀電極用于體內藥/基因/蛋白質傳遞及基因療法電極．
活體轉基因--鉗狀電極Tweezertrodes是一種可復用的小鉗狀電極，主要用于體內的藥或基因的傳遞。電極是一個標準的11.5厘米的小鉗子，其尖部為嵌入的不銹鋼圓盤狀電極，兩盤的間隙可調至2厘米，并有一個陽極指示器。
活體轉基因--鉗狀電極Tweezertrodes電極有兩種規格，45-0118為直徑：7mm的電極盤，45-0119為直徑：10mm的電極盤
當把感興趣的分子注射到體內后，用電極盤夾住相關組織，然后給出電脈沖，使孔道開始形成，將分子整合到直接與電極盤接觸的組織細胞內。Tweezertrodes are reusable, tweezer-style in vivo electrodes fordrug or gene delivery in animals. Tweezertrodes consist of astandard 11.5 cm tweezer that has been modified with stainlesssteel circular or disk electrodes at the tip. The gap between theelectrode disks may be adjusted from under 1 mm to over 2 cm.Tweezertrodes come in two models. Model 520 has an electrode diskdiameter of 7 mm and Model 522 has a diameter of 10 mm.Tweezertrodes may be cleaned with a mild detergent and sterilizedwith ethanol or ethylene oxide. These electrodes are connected to apulse generator with the Model 524 Connection Cable, and arecompatible with most BTX Electroporation System
Applications
Tweezertrodes may be used for many in vivo applications, includinggene and drug delivery. Following localized or systemic injectionof the molecule of interest, the Tweezertrode electrode disks areused to grasp the tissue of interest. An electroporation pulse isthen given, initiating pore formation and incorporation of themolecule into the cells of the tissue in direct contact with theelectrode disks. Suzuki et al. used Tweezertrodes to deliver aGreen Fluorescent Protein (GFP) gene into rat liver. The authorsdemonstrated successful gene transfer and expression in situ.1,2Saito and Nakatsuji used a similar electrode to introduce plasmidDNA during ex-utero and in-utero electroporation.7 Sato et al. usedthe Tweezertrode with the T820 to introduce EGFP expressing plasmidin mouse testis.8 Tweezertrodes complement BTX Genetrode Models508, 510, Caliper Electrode Models 384 and 384L, 2-Needle ArrayModels 530 and 532 as the newest addition to our in vivo electrodeline. The Tweezertrodes can be used to reproduce applicationsrequiring the caliper electrodes, including gene therapy,transdermal drug delivery and electroporation therapy.3,4,5,6
