β¦ Synopsis
An exposure facility for wide application to cell exposure to an ELF (extremely low frequency) magnetic field was developed. It is suitable for conducting experiments under a high-intensity, variable-frequency magnetic field, on the biological effects of the ELF magnetic field in an in vitro study. The exposure system consists of Merritt's 4-square coil as a basic component to generate the required magnetic field intensity of 10 mT at 50 Hz with spatial field uniformity less than AE3% in a 400 mm cube. Concentric compensation coils are adopted to eliminate the effects of stray fields on sham (control) samples in the vicinity of the exposure system. The uniformity of the magnetic field in the exposure coil, the increase in the power supply capacity due to the existence of compensation coils, and the stray field estimation were investigated carefully. After fabricating the system, performance tests were carried out and all the characteristics were found to be satisfactory. In addition, the ideal configuration for a concentric coil system was proposed.

An experimental arrangement is described that maximizes the dosimetric information that can be obtained during in vitro studies with ELF magnetic fields. The arrangement enables researchers to distinguish between a purely magnetic-field effect and one that also involves the electric fields and curre
A comparison is made of induced current densities, electric fields, and rates of energy deposition during in vitro studies with linearly and circularly polarized, extremely low frequency magnetic fields for a cylindrical volume of culture medium.
## Abstract In a previous article we developed an in vitro 23βkHz magnetic field (MF) exposure system that generated an MF of 532βΒ΅T~rms~. Using this system, the biological effects of 23βkHz MFs on cell functions have been reported. To further clarify the biological effect of intermediateβfrequency
We have developed an intermediate frequency (IF) magnetic field exposure system for in vitro studies. Since there are no previous studies on exposure to heating-frequency magnetic fields generated from an induction heating (IH) cook top, there is a strong need for such an exposure system and for bio
