A microelectrode device for sensing a biological activity within a sample and a method of using such a microelectrode device

Abstract

A microelectrode device for sensing a biological activity within a sample, the microelectrode device comprises an electrode assembly with electrodes for contacting the sample, and an electronic equipment which is connected to the electrodes of the electrode assembly. The electronic equipment is configured to evaluate one or more capacitances between the electrodes for sensing the biological activity within the sample. The microelectrode deviceenables that the one or more capacitances include one or more electrical double layer capacitances of one or more electrical double layers which are formed when the electrodes are brought into contact with the sample.
