CODED ELECTRODES FOR LOW SIGNAL-NOISE RATIO SINGLE CELL DETECTION IN FLOW-THROUGH IMPEDANCE SPECTROSCOPY

We introduce a novel way of improving the signal-to-noise ratio of microfluidic flow-through impedance spectroscopy (FTIS) by increasing the number of electrodes and arranging them according to a maximum-lengthsequence pattern. Our results show this concept of coded electrodes will be particularly suitable for systems where high sensitivity is required and which are dominated by noise that is uncorrelated with the electrode area.
