important points in using this technqie

Michael Hendricks (28 May 2007) Temasek Life Sciences Laboratory

A couple of clarifications:

1. It is important the embryos in agarose be covered with normal E3 medium for recovery after electroporation, not Ringers solution.

2. Small bubbles should appear on the electrodes during pulsing. Large bubbles (big enough to deform the embryos) or no bubbles indicate non-optimal voltage, unclean electrodes, or something wrong in the circuitry. Voltage may need to be optimized due to possible variation in equipment, connectors, etc.
