Tweezers rectangular electrode
This product is an advanced tweezers electrode that features flat rectangular electrodes at the tip of each of its two arms. The special design of this Tweezers rectangular electrode enables the secure holding and manipulation of delicate biological samples, such as mouse embryos. With this tool, researchers can place the sample between the two electrodes and pass a controlled electrical current through it.

Unique Design Features
The tweezers electrode boasts an ergonomic and precise design. The rectangular electrodes at the end of each arm provide a broad and uniform contact surface with the sample, ensuring a homogeneous distribution of the electric field across the target tissue. The insulating coating on the tweezers’ body, except for the electrode area, ensures that the electrical current is only delivered through the tips to the sample, preventing any leakage to the user’s hand or other parts of the environment. Additionally, the tweezers-like or forceps-like shape of this tool allows the user to manually adjust the distance between the electrodes and, by applying gentle pressure, securely hold the sample without causing damage. The combination of the flat electrode design and manual distance control significantly enhances operational precision.

Specialized Applications in Bioelectrics
These electrode tweezers are specifically designed for studies in developmental biology and other bioelectric research. One of its prominent applications is in electroporation of mouse embryos, where genetic material is injected and electrical pulses are applied to effectively introduce genes into embryonic cells. Similarly, in the process of electrofusion, used for combining embryonic cells or fusing oocytes with somatic cells (e.g., in cloning or creating transgenic organisms), these tweezers provide a focused and controlled electric field. Other bioelectric techniques, such as stimulating delicate tissues or delivering molecules to cells in small laboratory samples, can also be performed more reliably using this tool. In summary, wherever precise application of electrical pulses to small and delicate samples is required—especially in embryos and developing tissues—this product is an ideal and efficient choice.

Advantages Over Conventional Electrodes
Compared to traditional electrode shapes (such as fixed plate or needle electrodes), this research tweezers offers significant advantages. The manual control and precise positioning of the tweezers electrodes allow the electric field to be applied exactly where needed, preventing unwanted current spread to adjacent tissues. Due to the flat and wide surface of the rectangular electrodes, a more stable electrical contact is established, and the electric field is more concentrated in the desired area. This feature is particularly important in the electroporation of mouse embryos, as a focused field aids in the effective entry of DNA into cells, thereby increasing transfection success. In other words, this tool provides a combination of high precision, optimal electrical energy focus, and minimal damage, giving it an edge over conventional electrodes in bioelectric research.

Safety and Laboratory Compatibility
The insulated body and sturdy handle of the tweezers prevent the researcher from experiencing shock or injury while applying voltage. The high-quality and durable materials used in the construction of the electrodes and body allow for easy sterilization and disinfection between uses without compromising precision or performance. The standard connections at the end of the tweezers’ cable make it compatible with a wide range of electroporation and electrofusion devices commonly found in laboratories, particularly the electroporation device by Pars Tarava. This ensures seamless integration into standard laboratory protocols. These safety and compatibility measures guarantee that the device performs reliably and consistently under various laboratory conditions.
In summary, the Tweezers rectangular electrode is a versatile and efficient tool for researchers in developmental biology and bioelectric technologies. Its unique design, wide range of specialized applications, performance advantages over traditional methods, and adherence to safety and compatibility requirements make this product an ideal choice for advanced laboratory research. This product is manufactured by Pars Tarava, and all relevant tests in accordance with necessary standards have been successfully conducted in accredited medical equipment laboratories.
