Cellectricon’s single-cell capillary electroporation technology, ElectroFlow, is used to introduce foreign molecules into individual cells by applying an electrical discharge to the cell membrane. Lindberg told Inside Bioassays that the company is heavily promoting the technology for high-throughput screening using siRNA.

However, like traditional electroporation, the technology can also be used to introduce any impermeable molecules into the cell, such as DNA, RNA, chemical compounds, and molecular probes.
