Patent ID: 8209006

Claim:
An electroporation device comprising: a support structure that includes a sterile injection channel adapted to receive a syringe needle; an electrode assembly having a plurality of needle electrodes for penetrating a selected tissue and delivering an electrical pulse, wherein the needle electrodes are mounted in an array around the sterile injection channel of the support structure; a current waveform generator in electrical communication with the plurality of needle electrodes, the waveform generator being capable of generating the electrical pulse; a power source in electrical communication with the current waveform generator; a controller in communication with the current waveform generator and the power source; and a waveform logger in communication with the controller; wherein the controller is capable of managing the electroporation device to expose tissue adjacent to the needle electrodes to a substantially constant current independent of any resistance change in the selected tissue during the electrical pulse, the controller is capable of sampling and monitoring the electroporation voltage and current waveforms, and the waveform logger is capable of recording the electroporation voltage and current waveforms.
