An Incubatable Direct Current Stimulation System for In Vitro Studies of Mammalian Cells

Abstract The purpose of this study was to provide a simplified alternative technology and format for direct current stimulation of mammalian cells. An incubatable reusable stimulator was developed that effectively delivers a regulated current and does not require constant monitoring.
