Tweezertrodes are reusable, tweezer-style in vivo electrodes fordrug or gene delivery in animals. Tweezertrodes consist of astandard 11.5 cm tweezer that has been modified with stainlesssteel circular or disk electrodes at the tip. The gap between theelectrode disks may be adjusted from under 1 mm to over 2 cm.Tweezertrodes come in two models. Model 520 has an electrode diskdiameter of 7 mm and Model 522 has a diameter of 10 mm.Tweezertrodes may be cleaned with a mild detergent and sterilizedwith ethanol or ethylene oxide. These electrodes are connected to apulse generator with the Model 524 Connection Cable, and arecompatible with most BTX Electroporation System
Applications
Tweezertrodes may be used for many in vivo applications, includinggene and drug delivery. Following localized or systemic injectionof the molecule of interest, the Tweezertrode electrode disks areused to grasp the tissue of interest. An electroporation pulse isthen given, initiating pore formation and incorporation of themolecule into the cells of the tissue in direct contact with theelectrode disks. Suzuki et al. used Tweezertrodes to deliver aGreen Fluorescent Protein (GFP) gene into rat liver. The authorsdemonstrated successful gene transfer and expression in situ.1,2Saito and Nakatsuji used a similar electrode to introduce plasmidDNA during ex-utero and in-utero electroporation.7 Sato et al. usedthe Tweezertrode with the T820 to introduce EGFP expressing plasmidin mouse testis.8 Tweezertrodes complement BTX Genetrode Models508, 510, Caliper Electrode Models 384 and 384L, 2-Needle ArrayModels 530 and 532 as the newest addition to our in vivo electrodeline. The Tweezertrodes can be used to reproduce applicationsrequiring the caliper electrodes, including gene therapy,transdermal drug delivery and electroporation therapy.3,4,5,6
