The gene gun provides a completely new technique for shooting genetic material and other substances into cells, tissues and organ cells by high-velocity micro-projectiles. And it is the latest gene-transferred technology. Driven by the pressure of compressed gas (He or N2 etc.), the gene gun generates a cold gas shock wave into the bombardment chamber. This pneumatic gene gun is eligible for a wide variety of cell types and makes the transformation efficient, stable and transient. The gene gun has a special mechanism by which it generates a gas shock wave and involves different rupture membrane at a certain pressure, ranging from 3.5Mpa to 10Mpa. The gun is applicable to the gene-transformer of small animals, cultured cells, bacteria, embryos, plants and microorganisms.
The gun featuring ease of use 、 safety and high efficiency is favorably received by genetic researching institute and neuroscience researching center of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Tsinghua University, Zhejiang University, Shangdong Agriculture University and Nanfang hospital, etc. And many articles were published by using this device. Such as <Tea> 2002.28 (3) “ Plant gene gun transferring technique and its promising use in Tea trees”
