System and method for electroporating a sample

摘要

A system and method are described for electroporating a sample that utilizes one or more sets of electrodes that are spaced apart in order to hold a surface tension constrained sample between the electrodes. The first electrode is connected to the lower body of the system while the second electrode is connected to the upper body. Both electrodes are connected to a pulse generator. Each electrode has a sample contact surface such that the first electrode and the second electrode may be positioned to hold a surface tension constrained sample between the two sample contact surfaces and the sample may receive a selected electric pulse.

1. An electrode array system for electroporation comprising:
a plurality of sample contact surfaces, each of the plurality of sample contact surfaces operable to hold an electroporation sample; the plurality of sample contact surfaces electrically connected to receive an electric pulse from a pulse generator wherein the electric connection is operable to provide electric current to electroporate the electroporation sample present on each of the sample contact surfaces; the plurality of sample contact surfaces disposed on an electrode base; and the plurality of sample contact surfaces associated with a corresponding electrode array.
