Gene transfection by electroporation is improved approximately two times when orientation of electric field is changed during pulse application, while cell viability is not affected. The increase in gene transfection is caused by the increase of the membrane area which is made competent for DNA entry into the cell.

External electric field induces a voltage on the membrane of a cell, termed the induced membrane voltage (ΔΦ). By using the potentiometric dye di-8-ANEPPS, it is possible to measure the ΔΦ noninvasively. This video shows the protocol for measuring ΔΦ using di-8-ANEPPS.

When the heart pumps blood out, arterial elastic fibers play a crucial role in sustaining a high-pressure gradient. They expand to accommodate the received blood and then recoil - a process known as the pulse that can be either manually palpated or electronically quantified. Despite a reduction in its effect with increased distance from the heart, elements of the pulse's systolic and diastolic components persist, observable even at the arteriole level. The pulse serves as a clinical indicator...

The movement of electrons in a conductor requires some form of energy or work, usually provided by an external force, like a battery. This force is called the electromotive force or voltage. The voltage between two points, referred to as points "a" and "b," in an electric circuit is the energy (or work) needed to move a unit charge from point "a" to point "b," and this relationship is expressed mathematically as In this equation, "w" represents the energy measured in joules (J), and "q"...
FAQs
The electrode–solution interface charges rapidly, creating a transient current rather than a sustained steady response. This short-lived electrical event can initiate electron transfer or redox reactions and may alter the composition at the interface. Monitoring how the current changes after the pulse helps separate the immediate interfacial response from chemical changes that develop more slowly.
Each pulse parameter provides a different form of control. Amplitude influences the electrical driving force, duration determines how long the system is exposed, polarity selects the direction of the potential change, and repetition rate sets how frequently disturbances occur. Varying these factors allows researchers to adjust the response and examine different stages of an electrochemical process.
A pulse creates a defined, short-time perturbation, so the resulting transient current contains information about rapid events near the electrode. Changing pulse timing and repetition can then distinguish those responses from slower redox or interfacial changes. This time-dependent control is useful for investigating reaction mechanisms that are difficult to resolve when an electrical condition remains constant.
A basic workflow uses electrodes positioned with the chemical system, applies a selected voltage pulse, and observes the resulting electrical or chemical response. Researchers can repeat the measurement while changing amplitude, duration, polarity, or repetition rate. Comparing these responses shows how pulse conditions influence electron transfer, redox behavior, or interfacial composition.
In electroanalytical work, the transient current generated after a pulse provides a time-dependent signal associated with the electrode–solution interface. Researchers can adjust the pulse conditions and compare responses to examine electrochemical behavior. This approach is especially useful when distinguishing rapid electrical or redox events from slower processes improves interpretation of the measurement.
Pulsed control is valuable when an electrochemical synthesis or materials-modification process benefits from deliberate changes in electrical conditions. Adjusting pulse amplitude, duration, polarity, and repetition rate can direct the chemical response at the interface. The technique therefore supports controlled electrochemical synthesis and modification while providing a way to study how operating conditions affect the resulting process.
