“…4). Probably, the cell lysed due to irreversible electroporation (3,4). Beyond electroporation, these alterations can be caused by other effects, like exposition to electric fields and direct charge-transfer in the electrode-solution interface (5,6,7,8).…”

Conventional processes of water disinfection can generate toxic composites. It is the case of the trihalomethanes (carcinogenic) formed in the contact of chlorine with organic substances present in the water. The electrolytic treatment can be a substitute for the chlorination process without the need for addition of chemical substances to the process. The effect of the electrolytic treatment using carbon cathode on the viability of the microorganism Bacillus subtilis was tested to determine the death process. By means of electronic microscopy, it was observed that the main cause of the microorganism's death was the cellular lysis due to the electroporation in the cell membrane.

“…Death of bacteria during electrolytic treatment has been attributed to several factors, such as: generation of disinfectant compounds like chlorine and ozone (8); charge-transfer in the electrode/bacterium interface (6,7,8); destruction of the cytoplasmatic membrane or simply an increase in its permeability (2,3,4).…”

“…Three cytotoxicity mechanisms induced from these pores have frequently been proposed. Nanoscale pores may significantly disrupt the cell's homeostasis inducing necrosis, cell contents may continuously leak out through long lasting pores, or reactive oxygen species may be generated in association with increased membrane permeability (27,(37)(38)(39)(40). In addition, the mechanism of how CNC-FA binds and is uptaken into FR-positive cell types has been studied (unpublished works).…”

“…The electrode was therefore separated from the fluid. This technique has also been used in large-scale PEF equipment [72][73][74][75]. It would be logical to think that such an approach should be copied in future microtechnological structures, for example by applying dedicated coatings [76].…”

Electroporation of cells in microfluidic devices: a review

In recent years, several publications on microfluidic devices have focused on the process of electroporation, which results in the poration of the biological cell membrane. The devices involved are designed for cell analysis, transfection or pasteurization. The high electric field strengths needed are induced by placing the electrodes in close proximity or by creating a constriction between the electrodes, which focuses the electric field. Detection is usually achieved through fluorescent labeling or by measuring impedance. So far, most of these devices have only concerned themselves solely with the electroporation process, but integration with separation and detection processes is expected in the near future. In particular, single-cell content analysis is expected to add further value to the concept of the microfluidic chip. Furthermore, if advanced pulse schemes are employed, such microdevices can also enhance research into intracellular electroporation.
