Table 3.
Calculated values of Uc and corresponding Ettmin, Ettmax and Emax for plate electrodes.
| 2 plate electrode configuration | Target tissue Ettmax(V/cm) |
Target tissue Ettmin(V/cm) |
Entire tissue Emax(V/cm) |
Needed voltage on the electrodes-Uc (V) |
| (Fig. 3a) | U/d = 1300 | U/d = 1300 | U/d = 1300 | U = 1125.83 |
| (Fig. 3b) | 1345.8 | U/d = 1300 | 6441.5 | 1168 |
| (Fig. 3c) | 2001 | U/d = 1300 | 10242 | 1851 |
The needed voltage between the electrodes (Uc) was chosen in a way that the minimal electric field inside the target tissue exceeded U/d: Ettmin ≥ U/d, thus assuring successful permeabilization of the entire target tissue.
