The aim of this paper is to discuss the effects exposure Extremely Low Frequency ElectroMagnetic Fields (ELFEMFs) on nonand excitable cells using in vitro cell models, namely neuron-like line (PC12), glioblastoma-derived GL15 as glial model and C2C12 myocytes muscle model, focusing our attention standardized protocols for ELF-EMFs generation exposure. A major issue laboratory — likely nature studies about possible biological ELF waves difficulty providing standard, reproducible environmental conditions. Hence, part work we have developed an system including a probing scanner, able sample given volume measure timevarying magnetic field vector. allows detection, monitoring removal electromagnetic noise sources, well means assess homogeneity terms intensity polarization.
