Design and Construction of a Programmable Electroporation system for Biological Applications
Studies into electroporation have grown rapidly in biotechnology and medicine in recent years. This paper presents the design and construction of a low cost programmable electroporation system for biological applications. The system consists of a control module, a pulse generation circuit and a high voltage switch using a power MOSFET. The programmable electroporation has been designed, developed and tested. Using a standard commercial electroporation cuvette, it is possible to generate electric fields of 100 to 1000V/cm with programmed pulse lengths of 10?sec to 20msec. The system was evaluated with Hela cells and propidium dye to evaluate transfection rates under a variety of electroporation conditions. Initial results showed that the electroporation system achieved a peak cell transfection efficiency of 48.74% at 600V/cm with pulse lengths of 10 ms.

Abstract
Studies into electroporation have grown rapidly in biotechnology and medicine in recent years. This paper presents the design and construction of a low cost programmable electroporation system for biological applications. The system consists of a control module, a pulse generation circuit and a high voltage switch using a power MOSFET. The programmable electroporation has been designed, developed and tested. Using a standard commercial electroporation cuvette, it is possible to generate electric fields of 100 to 1000V/cm with programmed pulse lengths of 10?sec to 20msec. The system was evaluated with Hela cells and propidium dye to evaluate transfection rates under a variety of electroporation conditions. Initial results showed that the electroporation system achieved a peak cell transfection efficiency of 48.74% at 600V/cm with pulse lengths of 10 ms.
