A new cell-on-chip impedometric interface: Design, implementation and experimental results

This paper presents a new approach towards the design and implementation of high-throughput impedimetric screening for life science applications. Herein, we propose a new cell-on-chip model for cellular analysis. A low complexity platform was developed to demonstrate the advantages of this model for cellular analysis. This low cost platform consists of an array of optically transparent electrodes incorporated with polymeric miniaturized chambers. Herein, we demonstrate and discuss the experimental results to prove the functionality and applicability of the proposed model. Based on these preliminary results, a reconfigurable high-throughput impedimetric platform can be developed for chemical and biological analysis.
