Abstract
An insulating film in a container has pores whose diameter is smaller than the diameter of a first type of cells in the container. The first type of cells are trapped in the pores, so that when an electric field is applied to the container, electroporation of the first type of cells occurs. If a second type of cells, smaller than the first type of cells, are also trapped in the pores, electrofusion will occur between the first and second types of cells trapped in the same pores.
