Microrheometer and viscoelastic properties of cells

The characterization of the mechanical properties of the cell is of great importance for estimating its biological state and physiology. Among the different measurement techniques, through the microrheometer it is possible to characterize the viscoelastic properties. In this report we consider a measurement experiment of a paramagnetic bead microrheometer and Read more…

Impedance cytometer and circuit equivalent

The equivalent circuit model for a parallel electrode impedance cytometer is analyzed together with Maxwell’s theory of homogenization of mixtures. It deals with both single shell and double shell cell modeling. The results show that even small errors in parameter estimation lead to variations in model predictions. Furthermore, the possibility Read more…
