PulseTrac Diagnostic Algorithm
The PulseTrac diagnostic algorithm tests and selects the optimal capacitor circuit of the
Gene Pulser MXcell power module in the range of 25–2,475 μF. This is the key bank of
capacitors used in low-voltage/high-capacitance precision pulse delivery. The diagnostic
algorithm tightens the already rigorous capacitor tolerance from ±20% to ±10% (other unit
designs can have a capacitor variance as high as ±40%) in the 200–1,075 μF range. The
high voltage capacitors in the Gene Pulser MXcell unit are not part of this system, they are
preselected to the same 10% tolerance that the diagnostic algorithm provides
