BTX融合槽用于胚胎的操作及細胞或者原生質的融合。BTX融合槽特別為細胞融合設計的結構，鍍銀的導電性金屬合金以手指狀突起陣列熔化在玻璃顯微載玻片上，提供不均勻脈沖場，構成高度精準的工作區域。可用溫和清洗劑清洗，乙醇或環氧乙烷殺毒。

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.
