Electroporation is the technology that is connected to the increase of electrical conductivity that is seen in the cell. This can cause the cell membrane to weaken and be more easily punctured.
Electroporation is a dynamic phenomenon that depends on the local transmembrane voltage at each point on the cell membrane. It is generally accepted that for a given pulse duration and shape, a specific transmembrane voltage threshold exists for the manifestation of the electroporation phenomenon (from 0.5 V to 1 V). This leads to the definition of an electric field magnitude threshold for electroporation (Eth). That is, only the cells within areas where E≧Eth are electroporated. If a second threshold (Eir) is reached or surpassed, electroporation will compromise the viability of the cells, i.e., irreversible electroporation.[2]
Electroporation offers several advantages, including enhanced cellular uptake of macromolecules such as DNA, RNA, and proteins, which improves the efficiency of gene therapy and vaccination techniques. It is a relatively simple and cost-effective method that can be applied to various cell types, including difficult-to-transfect primary cells. Additionally, electroporation can be performed in a controlled manner, allowing for precise manipulation of the electroporation parameters to optimize results for specific applications. Finally, it is a non-viral method, reducing concerns related to potential immunogenicity and toxicity associated with viral vectors.
Heat shock and electroporation are two methods used to transform cells by introducing foreign DNA into them. Heat shock involves briefly exposing cells to high temperatures, which increases their permeability and allows the foreign DNA to enter. Electroporation, on the other hand, uses an electric field to create temporary pores in the cell membrane, through which the foreign DNA can pass. In summary, the main difference between heat shock and electroporation methods is the mechanism by which they make cells more receptive to foreign DNA.

obsolete technology
Mechanical typesInstructional technology Medical technology
I don`t know other ways but I know that It can be transformed chemically & by electroporation
The kind of difference in technology, in my opinion, is the goal behind the invention of this technology.
They use technology to make biofuel.
