Electroporation (EP) of drugs and genes into cells in vitro became a standard procedure in molecular biology laboratories in the last decade. Numerous protocols aid the researcher in selecting appropriate procedures; commercial instrumentation is readily available and discussed (1). The more recent transition to applying EP to living tissue poses a new set of requirements and few practical guidelines are available.
