Cell-culture measurements using voltage oscillations

A comprehensive system for real-time monitoring of a set of cell-cultures using a Voltage Oscillation (VO) methodology is proposed. The main idea is to connect the bio-electrical elements (electrodes & cell-culture) in such a way that sequentially a suitable electrical oscillator, which only uses a DC power source, is built. Using the employed electrical models given in [1, 2], the attained oscillation parameters (frequency and amplitude) can be directly related to the biological test. A digital circuitry is developed to pick-up the experimental measurements, which are gathered and shown in real-time in a web application.
