Cell Fusion

VOLTAIN™ EP-1 Cell Fusion/Activation System
The VOLTAIN EP-1 is a Cell Fusion/Activation system, which provides sinusoidal alignment signals and pulse fusion signals. Designed and manufactured by CryoLogic, the VOLTAIN EP-1 is reliable, simple to operate, and safe.
PRODUCT CODE: EP1

Features:
Accurate & Stable
Digital settings for pulse timing parameters overcome temperature and time drifts.

Highly Rectangular Pulses
Pulses have fast rise and fall times, and minimal droop.

High Fidelity
Alignment fields consist of very low distortion sinusoidal waves.

High Stability
Alignment frequency and amplitude is highly stable. Settings remain valid, allowing for easy repeatability.

Wide Adjustment Range
Alignment frequency and amplitude, and pulse timing parameters and amplitude, can be finely adjusted to suit a wide variety of cell types.

Safe & Reliable
The unit has full overload protection. Delayed operation for arming/alignment prevents false triggering.

User Friendly
The controls are easy to use and output parameters can be easily identified and adjusted. Operator interface has optional hands-free aligning and pulse triggering.




The VOLTAIN EP-1 is suitable for a range of applications:

• Rapid cell alignment in highly stable sinusoidal fields
• Cell activation-70% activation of MII oocytes
• Cell fusion of very different to very similar cell sizes
• Cell permeation
