, spermidine, culture medium, and plating medium. Enough mate-

rial for 60 bombardments is provided.

Macrocarrier Holders, set of 5 (catalog number 165-2322), are included with the Biolistic

PDS-1000/He system. Additional holders are desirable to facilitate a series of bombardments

in one experiment.

The Disk-Vac (catalog number 165-2323) is a small pen-shaped device capable of gen-

erating a suction for efficient handling of rupture disks and macrocarriers. Use of the Disc-Vac

reduces static generated during manipulation and prevents contamination with glove powder

or oil from skin.

Customers outside the continental USA and Canada will require a Voltage Converter

(catalog number 165-2259). To use the system, you must locally obtain a cord set which has

an IEC/320/CEE 22 connector on one end. This connects to the Voltage Converter and is the

type commonly found on computers or televisions. The other end of the power cord will

terminate in a plug which will fit the receptacle used in your location. Contact your local

Bio-Rad office for more information on this Voltage Converter.
