Microscale Vortex-assisted Electroporator for Sequential Molecular Delivery

Abstract:
Riboflavin, riboflavin mononucleotide, and fluorescein penetration from the ocular bath without electric current (control), from the anode, from the cathode, and without current after preliminary galvanization was studied in rabbit eyes. Penetration of organic drugs into intraocular fluid in electrophoresis was found to be increased not only from the adequate pole of the active electrode, but from the contrary pole as well. Galvanic current sharply abated the barrier function of the cornea. Therapeutic electrophoresis of the eyeball permits the use of many-component solutions with drug ions of different charge.

Pore Transport and Ion-Pair Transport
Pore transport, also known as convective transport, is a process where small molecules like urea, water, and sugars rapidly cross cell membranes as though there were channels or pores in the membrane. Although direct microscopic evidence is limited but the concept of pores or channels is widely accepted based on physiological evidence. Despite the lack of direct microscopic...
