Culturing of cells as influenced by exposure to AC and DC fields

This paper is aimed at investigating culturing of living cells as influenced by exposure to AC and DC ionized and non-ionized fields in a point-to-plane gap. A cell suspension including yeast was placed on the ground plane at the gap axis and exposed to AC and DC fields of varying magnitudes. The effect of exposure time, frequency of the AC fields and magnitude of the applied fields on the survival rate of cells was investigated. The survival rate was also investigated as influenced by blowing the ionized field by air.
