    Abstract: A method of assessing cytolysis of cancer cells, the method including: providing a cell substrate impedance monitoring cartridge having a plurality of chambers, each chamber having an electrode array configured for measuring cell-substrate impedance, wherein different chambers are preloaded with different target cells embodied as cancer cells of different lineage, origin or stage; adding effector cells to the plurality chambers for interaction with the target cells, wherein the effector cells are immune cells; monitoring cell-substrate impedance of the plurality of chambers before and after adding the effector cells and optionally deriving an impedance-based parameter from the impedances; and determining effectiveness of effector cell killing of the different target cells by comparing the impedances or impedance-based parameters over time.

    Abstract: A method for assaying target molecules in a sample liquid, the method comprising: providing an impedance monitoring device operably connected to an impedance analyzer; adding a sample liquid suspected of having target molecules to the well thereby permitting binding of target molecules to the capture molecules; monitoring impedance of the well; and determining the presence, amount or concentration of target molecules in the liquid sample from the monitored impedance. The device includes a nonconducting substrate having a well, at least two electrodes fabricated on a bottom of the well and on a same plane, wherein the surfaces of the at least two electrodes are modified with capture molecules configured to bind target molecules in a liquid sample, and at least two connection pads electrically connected to the at least two electrodes.
