Characterization of a Setup to test the Impact of High-Amplitude Pressure Waves on Living Cells

The impact of pressure waves on cells may provide several possible applications in biology and medicine including the direct killing of tumors, drug delivery or gene transfection. In this study we characterize the physical properties of mechanical pressure waves generated by a nanosecond laser pulse...
