by Hong MN, Han NK, Lee HC, Ko YK, Chi SG, Lee YS, Gimm YM, Myung SH, Lee JS
published in: J Radiat Res 2012; 53 (1): 79 - 86

General information:
Cells were divided into three different groups:
i) sham exposure group
ii) experimental group exposed to ELF-MF
iii) positive control group exposed to gamma radiation

Exposure 1:
Main characteristics
frequency:60 Hz
type of field: magnetic field
Exposure setup
exposure source/structure: coil(s)
exposure time pattern: continuous for 4 h
chamber details: exposure system was kept in an incubator at 37°C (±3°C);
size of Petri dishes: 100 mm
setup details: field generator consisted of four square-shaped coils and one cage with three testing floors
sham: sham exposure was performed
add. information: magnetic field shielding system using ferrite material was adopted to shield strong magnetic fields in the outer of the exposure system
Exposure parameters
parameter:value:type:method:remark:
magnetic flux density 1 mT max value measured and calculated fixed value at the center of the middle floor 

additional information: voltage fluctuation rate and harmonic rate of power quality were under 1%;
spatial variation of magnetic field was under 3%

measurement and calculation details: magnetic field distribution was calculated at the middle floor; fields at various other points were measured
