摘要

A cone-shaped adapter for attachment to a muzzle of a gene gun is generally provided. The cone-shaped adapter comprises sidewalls that taper from a base plane at one end and to an apex aperture at an opposite end and a fitting. The sidewalls form a base angle of from about 85° to about 45° with the base plane. The fitting is attached to the sidewalls at the base plane and is configured to connect the cone-shaped adapter to the muzzle of the gene gun. Methods of using the cone-shaped adapter with a gene gun are also provided.
