On-chip electrical impedence tomography for monitoring the kinetics in the cell culture

In this paper, electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is proposed to monitor the kinetics in substrate-based cell culture due to the spatial conductivity distribution within the culturing environment. A circular 16-electrode array was designed for imaging the culturing of Physarum. Polycephalum. The theoretical modelling and preliminarily reconstructed image of Physarum cell are presented.
