Seminar - Micropulses vs. Nanopulses
<p> <strong>Frank Reidy Research Center for Bioelectrics Seminar</strong></p> <p> </p> <p> <strong>“</strong><strong>Electropermeabilisation with micropulses and nanopulses: any difference at all?</strong><strong>”</strong></p> <p> </p> <p> <strong>Aude Silve, Ph.D.</strong></p> <p> Postdoctoral Fellow</p> <p> Wolfgang Frey's group</p> <p> Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT)</p> <p> Karlsruhe, Germany</p> <p> </p> <p> <strong>Tuesday, February 11, 2014, 9-10AM</strong></p> <p> <strong>IRP2 First Floor Conference Room</strong></p> <p> <strong>4211 Monarch Way</strong></p> <p> <strong>All are welcome.</strong></p> <p> </p> <p> Anyone who has been dealing with both the classical 'long' pulses (microsecond or millisecond range) and the much more fashionable 'short' ones (in the nanosecond range) will agree that moving from micro to nano made everything more expensive (generators, oscilloscopes, probes) and more complicated from the metrology point of view. However, most electropermeabilisation results are strikingly similar whatever the pulse duration. Is it therefore worth the effort? </p> <p> With this in mind, this talk will focus on the parallel between the long and the short pulses. Several aspects of electropermeabilisation will be addressed: electromagnetic modeling, efficiency of electropermeabilisation <em>in vitro</em>, resealing time, effect of repetition rate and electrical properties of a permeabilized membrane. Hoping to point out all the similarities to better understand the real differences.</p>
