Biological Test System Testing Base

A biological test system comprises:

• a test container array including a plurality of test containers;
• a testing base including a plurality of testing base containers, wherein the plurality of test containers fit into the plurality of test base containers;
• a plurality of test container electrodes integrated into the test container array, wherein a set of test container electrodes of the plurality of test container electrodes is integrated into a test container of the test container array;
• a plurality of testing base electrodes integrated into the testing base, wherein a set of testing base electrodes of the plurality of testing base electrodes is integrated into a testing base container of the plurality of testing base containers, wherein, when the test container array is inserted into the testing base, the set of test container electrodes electrically couple with the set of testing base electrodes;
• a plurality of drive-sense circuits coupled to the plurality of testing base electrodes wherein, when enabled, the plurality of drive-sense circuits detect changes in electrical characteristics of the plurality of testing base electrodes;
• a processing module coupled to the testing base, wherein the processing module is operable to:
• receive a set of changes in electrical characteristics of the set of testing base electrodes;
• and
• interpret the set of changes in electrical characteristics as a set of impedance values representative of electrical characteristics of a biological material present in the test container;
• and
• a communication module operably coupled to the processing module, wherein the communication module is operable to communicate one or more of:
• the set of changes in electrical characteristics and the set of impedance values via one or more communication protocol.
