Developing a Microfluidic Device with an Integrated Electrode System for Measuring the Impedance Spectra of Cellular Models in Real Time

A mathematical model is presented that describes the distribution of the potential and electric field strength in cells of a microfluidic device for culturing a cellular monolayer with built-in electrodes of different geometries. The design of the measuring cell and the geometry of the electrodes are selected by analyzing the results from calculations.
