Painless electroporating apparatus

摘要

An electroporating apparatus includes an electroporation electrode device that has a substrate, and an electrode unit provided on the substrate. The electrode unit includes a plurality of positive and negative electrode pads each of which has a skin contact surface area with a width ranging from 0.2 mm to 0.8 mm. Each positive electrode pad is spaced apart from the adjacent negative electrode pad by an electrode spacing of ranging from 0.5 mm to 1.5 mm. The positive and negative electrode pads are needleless. With a decrease in electrode spacing and electrode width, painless electroporation can be achieved when electric pulses of 0.2 ms or less and 150 V or less are applied is to a skin at 10 Hz or less.
