CORREA, N. J. et al. Design, development and characterization of an extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields generator. An. AFA [online]. 2021, vol.32, n.3, pp.62-71. ISSN 0327-358X.  http://dx.doi.org/10.31527/analesafa.2021.32.3.62.

In this article we present the results of the design, development and characterization of an extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields generator to carry out experiments with small animals. For the design of the exposure system, we took into account that its configuration should allow the application of a electromagnetic fields that meets uniformity and field intensity criteria, while making it possible to observe, manipulate and locate the sample easily, a fact that imposes accessibility requirements. For the application of different electromagnetic fields exposure protocols in the future, the generator must allow calibrated and homogeneous emissions, under known exposure conditions. Results of the constructive process are presented, in which the proposed materials and methods are analyzed, as well as the system performance results.

Keywords : extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields; generator; experiments with small animals.
