PROGRAMMEABLE APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR OPTIMIZING ANDREAL TIME MONITORING OF GENE TRANSFECTION BASED ON USERCONFIGURED ARBITRARY WAVEFORM PULSING TRAINABSTRACTThe present invention provides an apparatus and a method for generating andapplying an electric field according to a user configured arbitrary waveform pulsing train. A control module allows the user to input operation parameters and configure the arbitrary waveform pulsing train for the electroporation process. A micro-controller unit coupled to the control module controls an arbitrary waveform generator unit and a customized power module. During the electroporation process, the arbitrary waveform generator unit produces the arbitrary waveform pulsing train that is amplified by the customized power module. The customized power module is coupled to at least two electrodes, wherein the at least two electrodes will produce an electric field across a target media.Fig. 1 accompanies the ABSTRACT.
