Abstract:
A device for detecting cells and/or molecules on an electrode surface is disclosed. The device detects cells and/or molecules through measurement of impedance changes resulting from the cells and/or molecules. A disclosed embodiment of the device includes a substrate having two opposing ends along a longitudinal axis. A plurality of electrode arrays (100) are positioned on t he substrate. Each electrode array includes at least two electrodes (110, 120), and each electrode is separated from at least one adjacent electrode in the electrode array by an expanse of non-conductive material. The electrode has a width at its widest point of more than about 1.5 and less than about 10 time s the width of the expanse of non-conductive material. The device also include s electrically conductive traces (125, 130) extending substantially longitudinally to one of the two opposing ends of the substrate without intersecting another trace. Each trace is in electrical communication with a t least one of the electrode arrays.
Abstract:
Devices and methods for performing extracellular recording of cells, such as excitable cells, cardiomyocytes, and cardiomyocyte precursor cells is provided. An exemplary device includes a nonconductive substrate forming or provided as a base of one or more wells; a recording electrode positioned on the substrate within the well, wherein the recording electrode is accessible to cells when a cell sample is added to the device; and a reference electrode positioned within the well in a cell-free zone, the cell-free zone characterized as free from contact with cells when the cell sample is added to the device, thereby preventing contact between cells and the reference electrode.
