Electroporation
A method for transferring DNA (or other small molecules) into cells by exposure to a rapid pulse of high voltage, which causes the transient formation of small pores in the cell membrane.

Electroporation is another way to make holes in cells, by briefly shocking them with an electric field of 100-200V. Now plasmid DNA can enter the cell through these holes. Natural membrane-repair mechanisms will close these holes afterwards.

The cells are then briefly heat shocked so the plasmid can cross the plasma membrane. An alternate method, electroporation, uses a short electrical pulse to open pores in the plasma membrane, allowing the plasmid to pass through.
