ECIS® Z-Theta

ECIS^® Z-Theta

• Complex impedance analyser
• ECIS^® (Electric Cell-substrate Impedance Sensing) quantifies morphology changes in the sub-nanometer to micrometer ranges.
• Small altering currents are applied across an electron pattern at the bottom of the array which results in a potential across the electrodes being measured by the system. Cells act as insulators increasing the impedance.
• Stimulating cells to change their function alter the impedance which can be detected by the system.
• The instrument can use a range of AC-frequencies from 100 Hz to 100 kHz and complex impedance measurement to determine different cell morphology parameters including barrier function, close contacts, and membrane capacitance.
• 16- or 96-well station for use with 8-well or 96-well arrays.
• Station is designed to put in an incubator for optimal cell growth. Incubators are also available from Dunn Labortechnik.
• Optional 8-well transfilter array station available (see below)
• Laptop (WIN 11)
• Software for data acquisition and analysis
