Abstract

The development of cell manipulation methods is of considerable current interest. There have been intensive investigations of dielectric effects on living cells, which has led to the commercialization of an apparatus for electric cell fusion1–3. Exposure of a cell suspension to an electric field or to an electric pulse on the order of 103 V·cm-1 results in the breakdown of the cellular membrane4.
