The present invention relates to an electrode assembly for exposing an object supported on a moving surface to an electrical discharge comprising: (a) an electrical discharge device capable of generating an electrical discharge, further comprising an electrode having an electrical discharge generating surface capable of generating an electrical discharge originating from an active portion of the surface, wherein the surface is movable in order to allow generation of an electrical discharge from a different portion of the surface; (b) a barrier located in closely spaced separation to an inactive area of the electrode wherein the barrier separates the active portion of the electrode from an inactive portion of the electrode; and (c) means for cooling the inactive portion of the electrode. Methods and uses of the electrode assembly of the invention are also described, in particular exposing an object to an electrical discharge generated by the electrode assembly and further particularly attaching a molecule or macromolecule to an object following exposure of the object to the electrical discharge.
