System and devices for monitoring cell-containing materials and methods of their use

Abstract

The present application is directed to a system for collecting or extruding a cell-containing biological material. The system includes an extrusion/collection device comprising: an orifice and a chamber operably connected to the orifice and an electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) device, operably connected to the extrusion/collection device. The EIS device monitors biologically relevant attributes of a cell-containing biological material as it is extruded from or collected into the extrusion/collection device. Also disclosed are methods of using the system disclosed herein.
