Abstract
A device for analyzing biological cells is disclosed. The device includes a first platter for positioning a first group of biological cells; a first head positioned adjacently to the first platter for providing first electromagnetic radiation to at least a first subset of the first group of biological cells; and a first electrode positioned adjacently to the first platter for detecting the first electromagnetic having interacted with the first subset of the first group of biological cells for determining impedance values for the first subset of the first group of biological cells.
Claims20
A device for analyzing biological cells, the device comprising:
- a first platter for positioning a first group of biological cells;
- a first head positioned adjacently to the first platter for providing first electromagnetic radiation to at least a first subset of the first group of biological cells;
- and
- a first electrode positioned adjacently to the first platter for detecting the first electromagnetic having interacted with the first subset of the first group of biological cells for determining impedance values for the first subset of the first group of biological cells.
A method, comprising:
- providing, with a first head positioned adjacently to a first platter, first electromagnetic radiation to at least a first subset of a first group of biological cells positioned with the first platter;
- detecting, with a first electrode positioned adjacently to the first platter, the first electromagnetic radiation having interacted with at least the first subset of the first group of biological cells;
- and
- determining, with one or more processors, one or more impedance values for the first subset of the first group of biological cells based on the first electromagnetic radiation detected by the first electrode.
