基因枪是一种全新的基因导入技术，它把遗传物质或其它物质附着于高速微弹直接射入细胞、组织和细胞器，是目前国际上最先进的基因导入技术。气体基因枪可在广泛的细胞类型中得到瞬间的稳定和高效率的转化作用。气体基因枪有一个产生气体冲击波的特殊结构，在恰当的气压范围内从 3.5Mpa-10 Mpa 。具有相应不同的可破裂膜，将包覆 DNA 的粒子穿越，射入在轰击室底部的靶细胞中（最大靶直径 Φ 50mm ），基因枪适用于动植物、细胞培养物、胚胎、细菌及小型动物的转基因。具有快速、简便、安全、高效的特点。中科院遗传所、神经科学研究所、复旦大学、浙江大学、山东农业大学、南方医院等有关单位均已采用该设备，并有文章发表，如：＜茶叶＞ 2002.28 （ 3 ），“植物基因枪转化技术及其在茶树上的应用前景”。

The gene gun provides a completely new technique for shooting genetic material and other substances into cells, tissues and organ cells by high-velocity micro-projectiles. And it is the latest gene-transferred technology. Driven by the pressure of compressed gas (He or N2 etc.), the gene gun generates a cold gas shock wave into the bombardment chamber. This pneumatic gene gun is eligible for a wide variety of cell types and makes the transformation efficient, stable and transient. The gene gun has a special mechanism by which it generates a gas shock wave and involves different rupture membrane at a certain pressure, ranging from 3.5Mpa to 10Mpa. The gun is applicable to the gene-transformer of small animals, cultured cells, bacteria, embryos, plants and microorganisms.

The gun featuring ease of use 、 safety and high efficiency is favorably received by genetic researching institute and neuroscience researching center of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Tsinghua University, Zhejiang University, Shangdong Agriculture University and Nanfang hospital, etc. And many articles were published by using this device. Such as 2002.28 (3) “ Plant gene gun transferring technique and its promising use in Tea trees”
