Abstract		Induced transmembrane voltage depends among other things on extracellular, intracellular and membrane conductivity. Since extracellular conductivity is easy to manipulate with, we decided to take three media with different conductivities and study how decreasing the extracellular conductivity influence the induced transmembrane voltage. This was studied by comparing the survival and permeabilization of the cells in these media. Comparing experimental and calculated results, showed good agreement in survival of the cells, on the contrary medium conductivity had no effect on permeabilization results.
