The resistance between at least one electrode and a grounding electrode is measured during the filling procedure of each cycle at several points in time. Once a change of resistance is detected, the termination routine is initiated and the filling procedure is finally terminated. Exact filling of the chamber is thus ensured during each electroporation cycle so that enhanced reproductive electroporation performance can be guaranteed. | 2022-09-22 |
