Stochastic electrotransport is a transport enhancement method designed specifically for biological tissues. Like electrophoresis, it uses electric fields to drive electromobile molecules into the tissue. But unlike electrophoresis, it does not cause damage to the tissue. This allows you to quickly process tissues without destroying them.
