Abstract:
The frequency behavior of cell polarizability is a characteristic of the physiological state of cells, and therefore it can be used for their identification. At present, this frequency behavior is determined by measuring the cell velocity in an alternating inhomogeneous electric field from which the cell polarizability coefficient is then calculated. The measurement error includes the errors of measuring the speed, electric field strength, and the coefficient of proportionality between the speed and the viscous friction force. The proposed double frequency method is free of these errors and provides higher measurement accuracy.
