, spermidine, culture medium, and plating medium. Enough mate-
rial for 60 bombardments is provided.
Macrocarrier Holders, set of 5 (catalog number 165-2322), are included with the Biolistic
PDS-1000/He system. Additional holders are desirable to facilitate a series of bombardments
in one experiment.
The Disk-Vac (catalog number 165-2323) is a small pen-shaped device capable of gen-
erating a suction for efficient handling of rupture disks and macrocarriers. Use of the Disc-Vac
reduces static generated during manipulation and prevents contamination with glove powder
or oil from skin.
Customers outside the continental USA and Canada will require a Voltage Converter
(catalog number 165-2259). To use the system, you must locally obtain a cord set which has
an IEC/320/CEE 22 connector on one end. This connects to the Voltage Converter and is the
type commonly found on computers or televisions. The other end of the power cord will
terminate in a plug which will fit the receptacle used in your location. Contact your local
Bio-Rad office for more information on this Voltage Converter.
