Medical expeditions This study focuses on the investigation of pulsed electric field (PEF) exposure effect on HeLa cells (cervical cancer cells) for in-vitro experiments. The study focused mainly on real time experimental setup for cell morphological properties imaging. In the experimental setup, a modified EC magnetic chamber with incubator system is used to maintain the real time in-vitro environment for exposing the HeLa cells to high electric field.

This study continues to look at the relation between amplitude and duration of PEF effect on the HeLa cell growth rate. The cells were subjected to single pulse, constant field strength of l kV/cm and pulse durations ranging from 30μs to 600μs. It was found that at l00μs pulse duration the HeLa cell growth rate increased dramatically and achieving confluency faster in comparison to the cells exposed with other pulse durations. After obtaining the best parameter for HeLa cell ( l kV/cm, l00μs, & single pulse) the potential application of the EP technique for wound healing was explored.
