The invention concerns a kit for preventing or treating oxidative stress in humans or animals by means of therapeutically active hydrogen molecules. The hydrogen molecules are formed by reacting a base metal with aqueous acids or bases and by reacting a saline hydride with water or aqueous acids.

Therapeutic use of hydrogen molecules

Described are methods for electrical treatment of biological cells, in particular using electrical field pulses, involving the steps: arrangement of the cells () on apertures () of a solid planar carrier element () which divides a measuring chamber () into two compartments (); and temporary formation of an electrical treatment field which permeates the cells, wherein an alternating-current impedance measurement takes place on the carrier element (), and from the result of the alternating-current impedance measurement, a degree of coverage of the carrier element and/or healing of the cells after electrical treatment are/is acquired. Also described are devices for implementing the methods.

Method and device for electroporation of biological cells

A chamber for treating cells contained in a suspension in an electric field, the chamber having a vessel for holding the suspension and at least two electrodes with electrode surfaces that face each other. The suspension may be placed between the electrode surfaces and the electrodes are connectable to different poles of a source of voltage to generate an electric field between the electrode surfaces. The electrodes are laminate and continuous and are configured to generate a non-uniform field. Moreover, the electrodes have electrode surfaces made of electrically conductive material, wherein the electrode surface of at least one of the two electrodes is shaped such that a non-uniform field with several maxima distributed over the electrode surface may be generated between the two electrodes.
