	Electroporation apparatus and process - Patent 5128257 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Electroporation is a technique wherein cells are stimulated to take up material from their surrounding medium by placing the medium containing the material and a suspension of cells between two electrodes and exposing the cells to an electrical impulse (Wong, T. K., et al.
		It comprises contacting an electroporation chamber with a fluid containing a cell suspension and a biological substance to be transfected into the cells and passing at least two simultaneous and directionally distinct electric impulses through the fluid to transfect the biological substance into one or more of the suspended cells.
		Electroporation inserts having a density greater than that of the media used for electroporation and which are relatively rigid may be directly inserted into an electroporation chamber with appropriate electrical connections.

	The Enterococcus Research Site >>Electroporation of Enterococcus faecalis
		Early protocols for the electroporation and transformation of gram-positive species using lysozyme to degrade and weaken regions of the cell wall presented many of the same technical difficulties that were encountered with PEG-mediated protoplast transformation.
		In an effort to optimize electroporation procedures for a variety of gram-positive species, the incorporation of alternative agents to weaken cell walls was investigated.
		Adequate cell growth for electroporation was observed in the presence of 8% glycine for strains JH2-2 and UV202 (10).

	Electroporation - The Science - Cyto Pulse Sciences, Inc. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Electroporation is the use of a transmembrane electric field pulse to induce microscopic pathways (pores) in a bio-membrane.
		The use of electroporation was described by Neumann in the early 1980.
		Because the mechanism of electroporation is not well understood, the development of protocols for a particular application has usually been achieved empirically, by adjusting pulse parameters (amplitude, duration, number, and inter-pulse interval).

	Characterization of Cell Membrane Electroporation
		Electropermeabilization or electroporation is the use of a transmembrane electric field pulse to induce microscopic pathways (pores) in a bio-membrane.
		Electroporation occurs as a result of the reorientation of lipid molecules of the bilayer membrane to form hydrophilic pores in the membrane.
		The movement of lipid molecules in electroporation is characterized in the theoretical model by the diffusion coefficient of lipid molecules in pore radius space.

	Hollis Cline's Lab
		This technique utilizes electroporation in which a brief external high voltage pulse induces sufficient transmembrane potential to disrupt the electrostatic forces maintaining lipid bilayer structure, causing the temporarily formation of small pores in the cell membrane.

		For targeted electroporation of a specific brain region, a concentrated bolus of DNA should be injected as close as possible to the region of interest.

		For electroporation we employ DH10B cells (female) because they are robust during electroporation.
