The invention relates to a device 1 for applying an electric field to a suspension of cells, cell derivatives, organelles, sub-cellular particles and/or vesicles, comprising at least one chamber 6 which comprises at least two electrodes 4, 5 and at least one separating element 13 which is movable within the chamber 6 between two terminal points 14, 15 and, if it is in a position between the terminal points 14, 15, separates at least one first compartment 26 of the chamber 6 from at least one second compartment 27 of the chamber 6. According to the invention each compartment 26, 27 is designed to hold the suspension and comprises at least one port 7, 8, 10, 11 for charging or discharging the suspension, so as to discharge an aliquot of the suspension from the chamber 6 and at the same time charge a further aliquot of the suspension into the chamber 6, wherein the separating element 13 is moved in a second direction opposite to a first direction, and wherein the separating element 13 separates the aliquots from each other.
摘要:
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Beaufschlagung von mindestens zwei mit Elektroden versehenen Behältnissen mit mindestens einem Spannungsimpuls, bei dem mindestens ein Behältnis mit mindestens einem Spannungsimpuls beaufschlagt wird, während mindestens ein anderes Behältnis einer Vor- oder Nachbereitung unterzogen wird. Erfindungsgemäß umfasst das Verfahren das gegenseitiges Tauschen der jeweiligen Positionen eines bereits mit mindestens einem Spannungsimpuls beaufschlagten Behältnisses und eines weiteren Behältnisses. Die Erfindung betrifft ferner eine Vorrichtung 1 zur elektrischen Kontaktierung mindestens eines mit Elektroden versehenen Behältnisses, mit mindestens einer Aufnahmevorrichtung 3, 7 zum Aufsetzen mindestens eines Behältnisses und mit mindestens einer Kontakteinrichtung 8 zur Kontaktierung der Elektroden des Behältnisses. Erfindungsgemäß sind mindestens zwei Aufnahmevorrichtungen 3, 7 vorgesehen, wobei sich eine Aufnahmevorrichtung 7 an oder innerhalb der Kontakteinrichtung 8 befindet und wobei beide Aufnahmevorrichtungen 3, 7 und/oder die Kontakteinrichtung 8 derart bewegbar sind, dass sich die andere Aufnahmevorrichtung 3 nach Abschluss der Bewegung an oder innerhalb der Kontakteinrichtung 8 befindet.

The invention relates to a device for applying an electric field to a suspension of cells, comprising at least one chamber which comprises at least one internal space 40 for holding the suspension, the internal space 40 comprising at least two segments 41, 42, wherein each segment 41, 42 comprises at least one electrode 43, 44 and wherein neighboring electrodes 43, 44 are separated from each other by at least one gap 47 which is at least partially filled with an insulating material 46, and wherein the edges of the electrodes 43, 44 facing each other within the internal space 40 are rounded. Rounding the electrodes' edges facing a neighboring electrode results in a significant reduction of field gradients and thus even of the risk of arcing. The invention further concerns a method, wherein voltage is applied to at least one active electrode 43, 44 while the electrodes 43, 44, 45 or electrode segments next and/or opposite to the active electrode 43, 44 are set to ground potential. Setting neighboring electrodes that surround the active electrode to ground potential results in decreased scattering of the electric field within the internal space so that the electrically active area is locally limited and the field lines are focused near the active electrode and thus control of the process is enhanced.

According to the invention each segment is provided with at least one first electrode 4 and at least one second electrode 5, wherein the second electrode 5 is a common electrode of at least two segments. In order to avoid arcing and/or undesired heating of the suspension, voltage pulses can be applied to different segments of the chamber sequentially.
