A Message from BTX Thank you for investing in an AgilePulse system. Since its founding in 1983, the main focus of BTX has been in the area of applying controlled electric fields for genetic engineering applications. Because of this, we quickly established a reputation as the technological leader in the fields of electroporation and electrofusion.
