  1. The study utilized a capacitor with a capacitance of 200 nF. The generated frequency f was 110.1 kHz. The last column is presented to compare the parameters used with the limit set by Hergt and Dutz, i.e., safety limits (Hergt et al. 2006)
  2. *The system used for magnetic fluid hyperthermia consists of the central magnetization unit called magneTherm™ (nanoTherics Ltd.), CPX400SP 420W DC Power Supply, TG2000 20 MHz DDS Function Generator, SDS 1022 DL Digital Storage Oscilloscope and Induction Heating Coil with 17 turns of inner diameter 44 mm and cut around hollow cylinder inner side. To keep the coil temperature at the incubator temperature (37 °C), a water circulation inside the coil was provided, connecting to the water jacket using Grant LT ECOCOOL 150 Electronic Thermostat System (Grant Instruments Ltd.)
