Dependence of the Energy of Electric Pulse Required to Electroporate the Cell on the Pulse Duration for Pulses from 50 ns to 500 ms

Saulis G., Bitinaitė A., Vytautas Magnus University, LT

To successfully implement the technology of food processing with pulsed electric fields (PEF), it is important to know what particular electric treatment (pulse duration, field strength, etc.) would require the minimum energy. Here, theoretical relationships [...]

Estimation of the Energetic Barrier to Pore Formation and the Pore Radius Corresponding to this Barrier for Different Cell Lines

Bitinaitė A., Saulis G., Vytautas Magnus University, LT

The permeability of the cell membrane can be modified by exposing of cells to high-voltage electric pulses leading to the formation of nanometer-sized pores in the cell membrane (electroporation or nanoporation). This phenomenon is widely [...]
