Abstract
An electrical current is created across an electrically conductive medium comprising a cell which may be part of a tissue of a living organism. A first electrical parameter which may be current, voltage, or electrical impedance is measured. A second electrical parameter which may be current, voltage or a combination of both is then adjusted and/or analyzed. Adjustments are carried out to facilitate analysis and/or obtain a desired degree of electroporation. Analysis is carried out to determine characteristics of the cell membrane and/or tissue.
