<p>A fluid is passed through pores in an electrically insulating membrane. Arranged on the membrane (10a-2,20) are conductive layers (22a, 22b), which are interrupted at the pores. Between the two layers a voltage is applied. The fluid to be treated enters the apparatus by inlet (16) and leaves it by outlet (18). The fluid contains microorganisms or more in general cell material. The voltage is at least so high that a cell wall of the microorganisms is deactivated (for instance perforated) while they flow through the pores.</p> |
