Abstract
The design of a compact pulse generator using a Blumlein PFN, is presented. A small Blumlein is utilized to produce high current and high voltage pulses applied to a standard 1mm electroporation cuvette. Alternative designs of the Blumlein are discussed. A MOSFET based resonant charger is also described.
