a Equivalent electrical circuit of the cell–nanovolcano interface during electroporation. CPEDL is a constant phase element representing the double layer at the electrode–electrolyte interface, RCT is the charge-transfer resistance reflecting the faradaic charge-transfer at the same interface, Cj and Rj model the junctional capacitance and resistance of the cell membrane, respectively, RSeal is the seal resistance at the cell–electrode interface, and CStray represents the capacitive current leaks along the electrical tracks. b Frequency dependence of the junctional voltage amplitude ratio (Vj/VEP) of an electroporation pulse for different seal resistances (Rseal). cVj waveforms in response to square biphasic electroporation pulses (VEP, stippled line) applied at 100 Hz (left panel) and 10 kHz (right panel) for different values of Rseal (blue: 10 MΩ; red: 100 MΩ; green: 1 GΩ)
