  • Publication number: 20240067912
    Abstract: A flow electrotransfection device with a chamber for fluid to flow though, a liquid inlet channel for communicating with the chamber and a liquid outlet channel for communicating with the chamber, includes an electrode module for applying an electric field to fluid in the chamber, and further includes a fluid guiding structure for making flow velocities of fluid flowing through the central zone and the peripheral zone of the chamber tend to be consistent. The present disclosure solves the technical problem of relatively uneven the flow velocities of fluid at different zones in the flow electrotransfection chamber, improves the accuracy of the number of electric shock when the fluid flows though the chamber, thus improving the electrotransfection efficiency, and reduces the cell damage and even death from excessive times of electric shock, thereby improving cell viability.
