What is Electroporation?
Electroporation is a technique that utilizes intense pulses of electricity to ‘punch’ holes in cell membranes. These holes or pores last for a few of milliseconds and are approximately 40 nm in diameter. This size is sufficient to permit macromolecules such as genes, drugs, metabolites, antibodies or molecular probes to permeate the membrane. The typical…
