cylindrical plastic cage (diameter: 200 mm, height: 100 mm) with slits (length: 100 mm, width: 5 mm) all around at intervals of 5 mm; alternative: 50 ml centrifuge tube during immobilization
Setup
two stainless steel electrodes (1000 x 600 mm2) were placed over and under the cage or tube; an electricalcurrent was applied to the upper electrode, whereas the lower electrode was grounded; electric fields had a margin of error of 1%; temperature within the cylindrical cage did not change during exposure
