7. Determine the cell density (haemocytometer) and dilute with PBS to the required density for electroporation. We regularly electroporate at a relatively high cell density: 7x106 cells/ml (this number varies between different labs). + W4 n+ [: K0 u2 q3 i

8. For each electroporation mix together 20-40 microgram (1 礸/祃) DNA (for an approximately 10 kb vector) and 0.8 ml of the ES cell suspension in an electroporation cuvette (BioRad, Cat. No. 165-2088). 3 ?# c. J; N: K, A! ^1 y% O. Y
