ECIS Z-Theta

Using electric cell-substrate impedance sensing
Contact facility
Personalise
MWAC MSI lab instrument

Description

ECIS Z-Theta measures live cell behaviours continuously in real-time, using electric cell-substrate impedance sensing. By applying an alternating current across patterned gold electrodes with cells attached, ECIS can quantify barrier function, cell proliferation rate, cytotoxicity and migration.

Specifications

  • 2 x 8 wells or 96 wells format
  • Under incubator conditions (stand-alone or on microscope)
  • AC frequencies from 100 to 64,000 Hz

Applications

  • Cell attachment and spreading
  • Barrier function
  • Cell proliferation rate
  • Cytotoxicity measurement
  • Cell migration
  • Electroporation and wound-healing
