Procedure

  1. Put cuvettes on ice, and cool down Steinberg's on ice
  2. Trypsinize cells as normal, stop reaction with high serum media and spin down at 1000 rpm, 3 minutes
  3. Wash pellet with Steinberg's solution and resuspend in 300 µl of Steinberg's, keep on ice
  4. Before electroporation, make sure to electroporate a cuvette with no cells to discharge device
  5. Electroporate cells in following conditions and put back on ice: Myoblasts: 100V, 35 msec, 5 pulses, Myotubes: 75 V, 35 msec, 5pulses
  6. Plate cells as normal
