Electropermeabilization of inner and outer cell membranes with microsecond pulsed electric field. Quantitative study with calcium ions [PDF]
Microsecond pulsed electric fields (mu sPEF) permeabilize the plasma membrane (PM) and are widely used in research, medicine and biotechnology. For internal membranes permeabilization, nanosecond pulsed electric fields (nsPEF) are applied but this ...
