Analysis of Planar Circular Interdigitated Electrodes for Electroporation
نویسندگان
چکیده
in this work, designs for planar, interdigitated circular electrode structures for cell membrane permeabilization procedures are analysed using finite element method analysis. The generated electric field intensity, homogeneity and the Joule heating are evaluated. The optimal electrode configuration for successful transfection procedures is investigated. Based on the simulation results, an optimized design for the electrodes, suitable for the investigation of the permeabilization thresholds during electroporation is proposed. The Joule heating influence simulation results are validated experimentally.

This paper reports a novel microarray chip for in-situ, real-time and selective electroporation on individual cells integrated with cell positioning and impedance monitoring. An array of quadrupole-electrode units (termed positioning electrodes) and pairs of planar center electrodes located at the centers of each quadrupole-electrode unit were fabricated on the chip. The positioning electrodes ...
متن کاملPlanar interdigitated electrolyte - conductivity sensors on an insulating substrate covered with Ta 2 O 5
Interdigitated electrolyte-conductivity sensors with an added top layer of insulating Ta2O5 have been realized. The electrodesubstrate structure under the Ta2O5 film has been planarized in order to obtain a totally flat top surface. In addition, the electrodes have been applied on a totally insulating substrate, thus reducing the parasitic sensor capacitance by a factor of ten. © 1997 Elsevier ...

متن کاملTheoretical treatment and computer simulation of microelectrode arrays
New relations for and interrelations between the current responses of different microelectrode arrays are presented. Interdigitated microelectrode arrays (IDAs: alternating cathodes and anodes) and uniform microband electrode arrays (MEAs: only cathodes or anodes) are treated, and miniaturized systems with planar band electrodes or hemicylinder electrodes are discussed. A common basis was found...
