Abstract
An apparatus is disclosed for the genetic transformation of organisms by accelerated particle mediated transformation. Foreign genes are introduced into cells by coating on carrier particles which are physically accelerated into the cells by positioning the carrier particles on a carrier sheet which is accelerated by a device which produces a shock wave. The treated cells are recovered, and a portion of them will contain in their genome the foreign gene. The procedure may be used to create genetically engineered organisms of many types.
