HARDWARE:The Zap-Pore Electroporator


DIY low cost electroporator, shocks the cell with a very high voltage to briefly open the pores in the cell membranes and accept foreign DNA




We tried to introduce plasmid pBlu which expresses a resistance to ampicillin (that is in the growth medium), since our cells mostly died we can conclude that the electroproresis didnt work.
