Electroporation is the microbiology technique that uses an electrical pulse to create temporary pores in cell membranes through which substances such as nucleic acids can pass into cells. Electroporation can be used for all cell types including mammalian, bacteria, algae, plant and yeast. It uses an accurately pulsed electrical current to create temporary pores in the cell membrane through which the molecules can then pass.
As of 2022, the Global Electroporation Instruments Market is estimated to be valued at U.S.$ 232.19 Million and is expected to reach U.S.$ 328.53 Million by 2030, exhibiting a CAGR of 4.4% during the year (2022-2030)
