Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) for Non-Destructive Assessment of Epithelial Integrity
This technology includes a novel apparatus and method that utilizes Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) to assess the integrity of epithelial cell membranes non-destructively. By applying frequency-modulated voltage signals and facilitating fluid exchange on both sides of the epithelial tissue, this technology allows researchers to characterize membrane-specific responses with unprecedented accuracy. This advancement opens new avenues for drug discovery and evaluation of stem cell therapies, making it a vital tool for both academic and commercial research.
