Abstract

An apparatus and methods for electroporation of cells are disclosed. The apparatus comprises a memory storing instructions, a high voltage module to apply a voltage to cells, a low voltage module including a user interface, a system board connected to the high voltage module, the low voltage module, and a single board computer, and the single board computer including at least one processor to control the high voltage module and the low voltage module. The system board includes an emergency stop button and an electronic circuit. The electronic circuit receives a signal from the emergency stop button, latches the signal from the emergency stop button, blocks a logical signal controlling the voltage delivered to the instrument output, terminates the voltage applied to cells, and disables the at least one processor to provide commands to the high voltage module.
