Patent ID: 7521224

Claim:
An electroporation device, comprising: an electronic array containing a plurality of circuits forming a 2D array of unit cells; a conducting electrode material having a first side in electrical contact with the 2D array of unit cells of the electronic array and a second side opposite the first side, wherein the second side of the conducting electrode material comprises a microfiber glass that is suitable for plating and holding a monolayer of cells or lipid vehicles to be electroporated and wherein the conducting electrode material is selectively conducting such that each of the unit cells of the electronic array is independently conductive therethrough; and a fluid flow chamber configured to perfuse the cells or lipid vehicles with a plurality of solutions defined by the second side of the conducting electrode material, a top disposed opposite the second side of the conducting electrode material and at least one sidewall separating the second side of the conducting electrode material and the top, wherein the top comprises an optical window.
