Autoclaves are also known as steam sterilizers and are typically used for healthcare or industrial applications. An autoclave is a machine that uses steam under pressure to kill harmful bacteria, viruses, fungi, and spores on items that are placed inside a pressure vessel. The items are heated to an appropriate sterilization temperature for a given amount of time. The moisture in the steam efficiently transfers heat to the items to destroy the protein structure of the bacteria and spores.

The costs of an autoclave can vary greatly because of the various uses and applications of this technology. Industrial and pharmaceutical autoclaves are customized and manufactured for a specific use and therefore costs are likely to differ compared to autoclaves you find in a hospital or dental office.

The Neon® Transfection System enables fast and efficient delivery of nucleic acids into all mammalian cell types, including primary, stem, and difficult-to-transfect cells. The flexible and open system allows the user to perform high-quality transfections using optimized or user-defined protocols in three simple steps with as few as 2 × 104 cells per reaction. A novel reaction chamber provides a dramatic increase in transfection efficiency and cell viability. The Neon® Transfection System is:

• Efficient—up to 90% in many cell types, including difficult-to-transfect cells, primary, and stem cells
• Flexible—easily transfect from 2 × 104 cells to 6 × 106 cells per reaction
• Simple—easy to use, with a single reagent kit for all cell types
• Versatile—open system allows electroporation parameters to be optimized freely
