Problems solved by technology

[0004] Although the planar electrodes that appeared later solved the negative effects caused by excessive voltage, the amount of cells that can be processed each time is very small, which is not suitable for high-throughput experimental operations.
Three-dimensional electrodes are easy to penetrate into tissues and living bodies, and are mostly used for clinical electroporation of tumors or living tissues. The electroporation efficiency is not high, and there are no relevant reports on cell electroporation in vitro, such as suspension cells or adherent cells.

The invention discloses a high-density distributed stereo electrode apparatus. The apparatus comprises an electrode array and an electrode fixing assembly, the electrode array is fixed on the electrode fixing assembly, the electrode array comprises a plurality of electrodes, and electric impulses having a first polarity and electric impulses having a second polarity are applied to the plurality of electrodes according to the time period, wherein electrodes corresponding to the electric impulses having a second polarity are distributed surrounding electrodes corresponding to the electric impulses having a first polarity. The high-density distributed stereo electrode apparatus adopts packed reused electrodes, so the electric field unevenness caused by the stereo electrodes can be maximally made up, milliliter cells can be singly processed, the apparatus can be used in each of an orifice plate and a flow device, and the apparatus is a cell electroporation apparatus having the advantages of avoiding of damages of the high voltage to the cells, low cost, high flux and high efficiency.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to cell electroporation technology, in particular to a high-density distributed three-dimensional electrode device. Background technique [0002] Electroporation technology has been used to insert molecules into animal cells or plant cells since the 1970s. Researchers have confirmed that exposure of cells to short-term and continuous high-voltage electric fields can form channels on the cell membrane, and macromolecules such as proteins and DNA can pass through. This channel enters the cell. These channels, known as electropores, are regions of increased permeability caused by local disruption of the cell membrane caused by high-voltage electric fields. These holes are short-lived but sufficient for the entry of large molecules such as plasmid DNA molecules into the cell. Cells can tolerate the formation of these holes, but if too many and large holes are formed, the process by which they are created, and the molecules introduce...
