Abstract

Objective A pulsed electromagnetic fields(PEMF) device with adjustable parameters designed for bone cell culture was designed according to the principle of pulsed electromagnetic fields as an effective physical factor to regulate the growth of bone cells. Functions of hardware and software were introduced as well as the design of the stimulating board. Method Based on previous research result, the device was designed to generate electromag- netic pulse with intensity of 4-6 mT and frequency of 8 Hz. The stimulating board was designed according to the size of cell culture plate. Up to six plates are allowed to be placed on the board simultaneously. Magnetic material was in- troduced to assure the uniform magnetic field. Results Functions of the device were tested and designed parameters were proved to be accomplished. The electromagnetic field generated on the surface of the stimulating board was uni- form. Conclusion All parameters designed are accomplished and the magnetic field detected on the surface of the board is uniform and ready be used as a physical factor in the up-coming experiment of bone cell culture. Key words: Pulsed electromagnetic fields; .Physical factor; Bone cell
