摘要

Functional genomic studies and drug candidate testing both require high throughput, parallel experimentation to screen for variable cellular behaviors. Here we present the use of impedance sensing electrode array where each site is comparable to the area spanned by a few cells. The electrical signal from each sensing site provides information not only on cell “presence,” but also on the extent of cell attachment to the substrate. Data will be presented on the signals provided by mouse fibroblasts growing on 9 similar sized electrodes. In the absence of cells, each electrode’s impedance was found to depend as expected on electrode size and frequency. More notably, the impedance increased up to four-fold when fibroblasts attached and spread out over time. These findings suggest that such impedance sensors can detect cell “presence” as well as the extent of cell attachment to the substrate. Finite element simulation shows a good agreement with experimental results. From a technological perspective, impedance sensors could play a role in automating cell proliferation assays. Alternately, in structures with many sensors and sparse cell coverage, cell tracking and motility experiments may be potentially conducted. Finally, it may be possible to use such impedance measurements to screen mutants and malignant cells as well as effectors for altered adhesion prior to employing more demanding methods.
