Development and Testing of an in Vitro Sample Holder for Radiofrequency Radiation Bioeffects Research

摘要

The results of an investigation into the design of a simple, low-cost device which would expose cell cultures and cell-free suspensions in vitro to known, uniform, and reproducible levels of radiofrequency radiation (RFR) are presented. The design selected consists of a linear array of 5 small cellulose nitrate centrifuge tubes with array oriented parallel to the E-field and the long axis of the tubes oriented parallel with the H-field. Reproducible uniform specific absorption rate (SAR) distributions were found through the frequency range of 0.48 to 10 GHz with SAR dependent on frequency. (Author)
