An electroporation apparatus provides for the electroporation of adherent cells attached to an electrode surface or suspended cells in close proximity to an electrode surface. In one embodiment, the electrodes are transparent to allow cell viewing using a microscope or an automated image analysis machine. The geometry of the electrodes and associated electrically non-conductive structures may provide for well- defined regions of electroporated and non-electroporated adherent cells with a clearly defined interface between these regions, facilitating comparison of electroporated cells and non-electroporated cells, and evaluation of transfer of material from cell to cell via intercellular gap junctions.

Un appareil d'électroporation plan assure l'électroporation de cellules adhérentes attachées à une surface d'électrode ou de cellules en suspension à proximité d'une surface d'électrode. Dans un mode de réalisation, les électrodes sont transparentes pour permettre une observation des cellules à l'aide d'un microscope ou d'une machine automatisée d'analyse d'images. La géométrie des électrodes et des structures non-conductrices de l'électricité associées peut assurer des régions bien définies de cellules adhérentes ayant subi l'électroporation et n'ayant pas subi l'électroporation avec une interface nettement définie entre ces régions, facilitant la comparaison de cellules ayant subi l'électroporation et de cellules n'ayant pas subi l'électroporation, et une évaluation du transfert de matière de cellule à cellule par l'intermédiaire de jonctions d'intervalles intercellulaires.
