High-Voltage Pulse Generators for Electroporation Applications: A Systematic Review

In recent years, the use of electroporation process has attracted much attention, due to its application in various industrial and medical fields. Electroporation is a microbiology technique which creates tiny holes cell membrane by applied electric field. The needs high-voltage pulses provide required To generate pulses, pulse generator device must be used. High-voltage generators can mainly divided into two major groups: Classical power electronics-based generators. As their name suggests, first group associated with primary elementary like Marx generators, second that have been updated advancement electronics Modular Multilevel Converters. These groups are also several subgroups reviewed detail this paper. This study reviews literature presented field proper for addresses strengths weaknesses. Several tables provided highlight discuss characteristics each subgroup. Finally, comparative among different performed followed classification performance analysis.
