Experimental electromagnet for in vivo exposure of small animals to ELF electromagnetic fields

Abstract

The ubiquitous presence of electromagnetic (EM) fields in living environment motivates investigation of their influence on biological systems. Existing research data shows a high degree of inconsistency, covers very limited regions of electromagnetic spectrum and in many cases lacks detailed and accurate description of the electromagnetic fields necessary for the replication of experiments. Exposure systems, designed specifically for biomedical research, offer the solution to the above problems. We present experimental electromagnet for in vivo small animal research. It covers both static magnetic field and extra-low frequency (ELF) electromagnetic field range, offering higher EM field intensities than those produced by most other systems. © 2014 RAD Conference Proceedings.
