Discrimination between the human prostate normal cell and cancer cell by using a novel electrical impedance spectroscopy controlling the cross-sectional area of a microfluidic channel.

ABSTRACT: The prostate biopsy method shows a high false negative result because the suspicious tissue considered as cancer is not confirmed during tissue sampling. Thus, repeated biopsy procedures and diagnostic errors in relation to prostate cancer frequently occur. The purpose of this research is to enhance the prostate cancer detection rate by using microfluidic electrical impedance spectroscopy (μEIS), which allows real-time measurement of the electrical impedance of a single human prostate normal cell and cancer cell. The μEIS was equipped with a movable flexible membrane, which is operated by pneumatic pressure to capture the single cell on the surface of sensing electrodes. The forced tight contact between the cell and electrodes makes it possible to measure the electrical characteristics of the cell with a high sensitivity. The μEIS discriminates well between normal human prostate cells (RWPE-1) and cancer cells (PC-3) at 8.7 kHz based on the electrical signal responses of the cells. The average difference rates of admittance magnitude and susceptance are 54.55% and 54.59%, respectively. The developed μEIS also shows high repeatability, which was verified by a deionized water test conducted before and after each cell assay; the maximum variance of both the impedance and admittance at 8.7 kHz was as small as 9.48%.

Microfluidic device for trapping and monitoring three dimensional multicell spheroids using electrical impedance spectroscopy.

Project description:In this paper, we report the design, fabrication, and testing of a lab-on-a-chip based microfluidic device for application of trapping and measuring the dielectric properties of microtumors over time using electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Microelectromechanical system (MEMS) techniques were used to embed opposing electrodes onto the top and bottom surfaces of a microfluidic channel fabricated using Pyrex substrate, chrome gold, SU-8, and polydimethylsiloxane. Differing concentrations of cell culture medium, differing sized polystyrene beads, and MCF-7 microtumor spheroids were used to validate the designs ability to detect background conductivity changes and dielectric particle diameter changes between electrodes. The observed changes in cell medium concentrations demonstrated a linear relation to extracted solution resistance (Rs), while polystyrene beads and multicell spheroids induced changes in magnitude consistent with diameter increase. This design permits optical correlation between electrical measurements and EIS spectra.

Microfluidic Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy of Carbon Composite Nanofluids.

Project description:Understanding the internal structure of composite nanofluids is critical for controlling their properties and engineering advanced composite nanofluid systems for various applications. This goal can be made possible by precise analysis with the help of a systematic robust platform. Here, we demonstrate a microfluidic device that can control the orientation of carbon nanomaterials in a suspension by applying external fields and subsequently examine the electrochemical properties of the fluids at microscale. Composite nanofluids were prepared using carbon nanomaterials, and their rheological, thermal, electrical, and morphological characteristics were examined. The analysis revealed that microfluidic electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) in the device offered more reliable in-depth information regarding the change in the microstructure of carbon composite nanofluids than typical bulk measurements. Equivalent circuit modelling was performed based on the EIS results. Furthermore, the hydrodynamics and electrostatics of the microfluidic platform were numerically investigated. We anticipate that this microfluidic approach can serve as a new strategy for designing and analyzing composite nanofluids more efficiently.

Electrical Impedance Spectroscopy with Bacterial Biofilms: Neuronal-like Behavior.

Project description:Negative capacitance at low frequencies for spiking neurons was first demonstrated in 1941 (K. S. Cole) by using extracellular electrodes. The phenomenon subsequently was explained by using the Hodgkin-Huxley model and is due to the activity of voltage-gated potassium ion channels. We show that Escherichia coli (E. coli) biofilms exhibit significant stable negative capacitances at low frequencies when they experience a small DC bias voltage in electrical impedance spectroscopy experiments. Using a frequency domain Hodgkin-Huxley model, we characterize the conditions for the emergence of this feature and demonstrate that the negative capacitance exists only in biofilms containing living cells. Furthermore, we establish the importance of the voltage-gated potassium ion channel, Kch, using knock-down mutants. The experiments provide further evidence for voltage-gated ion channels in E. coli and a new, low-cost method to probe biofilm electrophysiology, e.g., to understand the efficacy of antibiotics. We expect that the majority of bacterial biofilms will demonstrate negative capacitances.

Virtual Biopsy by Electrical Impedance Spectroscopy in Barrett's Carcinoma.

Project description:PurposeEarly detection of adenocarcinomas in the esophagus is crucial for achieving curative endoscopic therapy. Targeted biopsies of suspicious lesions, as well as four-quadrant biopsies, represent the current diagnostic standard. However, this procedure is time-consuming, cost-intensive, and examiner-dependent. The aim of this study was to test whether impedance spectroscopy is capable of distinguishing between healthy, premalignant, and malignant lesions. An ex vivo measurement method was developed to examine esophageal lesions using impedance spectroscopy immediately after endoscopic resection.MethodsAfter endoscopic resection of suspicious lesions in the esophagus, impedance measurements were performed on resected cork-covered tissue using a measuring head that was developed, with eight gold electrodes, over 10 different measurement settings and with frequencies from 100 Hz to 1 MHz.ResultsA total of 105 measurements were performed in 60 patients. A dataset of 400 per investigation and a total of more than 42,000 impedance measurements were therefore collected. Electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) was able to detect dysplastic esophageal mucosa with a sensitivity of 81% in Barrett's esophagus.ConclusionIn summary, EIS was able to distinguish different tissue characteristics in the different esophageal tissues. EIS thus holds potential for further development of targeted biopsies during surveillance endoscopy. Trial Registration NCT04046601.

Predicting myofiber cross-sectional area and triglyceride content with electrical impedance myography: A study in db/db mice.

Project description:BackgroundElectrical impedance myography (EIM) provides insight into muscle composition and structure. We sought to evaluate its use in a mouse obesity model characterized by myofiber atrophy.MethodsWe applied a prediction algorithm, ie, the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO), to surface, needle array, and ex vivo EIM data from db/db and wild-type mice and assessed myofiber cross-sectional area (CSA) histologically and triglyceride (TG) content biochemically.ResultsEIM data from all three modalities provided acceptable predictions of myofiber CSA with average root mean square error (RMSE) of 15% in CSA (ie, ±209 μm2 for a mean CSA of 1439 μm2 ) and TG content with RMSE of 30% in TG content (ie, ±7.3 nmol TG/mg muscle for a mean TG content of 25.4 nmol TG/mg muscle).ConclusionsEIM combined with a predictive algorithm provides reasonable estimates of myofiber CSA and TG content without the need for biopsy.

Feasibility of Using Electrical Impedance Spectroscopy for Assessing Biological Cell Damage during Freezing and Thawing.

Project description:This study was performed to test bioimpedance as a tool to detect the effect of different thawing methods on meat quality to aid in the eventual creation of an electric impedance-based food quality monitoring system. The electric impedance was measured for fresh pork, thawed pork, and during quick and slow thawing. A clear difference was observed between fresh and thawed samples for both impedance parameters. Impedance was different between the fresh and the frozen-thawed samples, but there were no impedance differences between frozen-thawed samples and the ones that were frozen-thawed and then stored at +3 °C for an additional 16 h after thawing. The phase angle was also different between fresh and the frozen-thawed samples. At high frequency, there were small, but clear phase angle differences between frozen-thawed samples and the samples that were frozen-thawed and subsequently stored for more than 16 h at +3 °C. Furthermore, the deep learning model LSTM-RNN (long short-term memory recurrent neural network) was found to be a promising way to classify the different methods of thawing.

Electrical Cell-Substrate Impedance Spectroscopy Can Monitor Age-Grouped Human Adipose Stem Cell Variability During Osteogenic Differentiation.

Project description:Human adipose stem cells (hASCs) are an attractive cell source for bone tissue engineering applications. However, a critical issue to be addressed before widespread hASC clinical translation is the dramatic variability in proliferative capacity and osteogenic potential among hASCs isolated from different donors. The goal of this study was to test our hypothesis that electrical cell-substrate impedance spectroscopy (ECIS) could track complex bioimpedance patterns of hASCs throughout proliferation and osteogenic differentiation to better understand and predict variability among hASC populations. Superlots composed of hASCs from young (aged 24-36 years), middle-aged (aged 48-55 years), and elderly (aged 60-81 years) donors were seeded on gold electrode arrays. Complex impedance measurements were taken throughout proliferation and osteogenic differentiation. During osteogenic differentiation, four impedance phases were identified: increase, primary stabilization, drop phase, and secondary stabilization. Matrix deposition was first observed 48-96 hours after the impedance maximum, indicating, for the first time, that ECIS can identify morphological changes that correspond to late-stage osteogenic differentiation. The impedance maximum was observed at day 10.0 in young, day 6.1 in middle-aged, and day 1.3 in elderly hASCs, suggesting that hASCs from younger donors require a longer time to differentiate than do hASCs from older donors, but young hASCs proliferated more and accreted more calcium long-term. This is the first study to use ECIS to predict osteogenic potential of multiple hASC populations and to show that donor age may temporally control onset of osteogenesis. These findings could be critical for development of patient-specific bone tissue engineering and regenerative medicine therapies. Stem Cells Translational Medicine 2017;6:502-511.

Classification of Wood Chips Using Electrical Impedance Spectroscopy and Machine Learning.

Project description:Wood chips are extensively utilised as raw material for the pulp and bio-fuel industry, and advanced material analyses may improve the processes in utilizing these products. Electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) combined with machine learning was used in order to analyse heartwood content of pine chips and bark content of birch chips. A novel electrode system integrated in a sampling container was developed for the testing using frequency range 42 Hz-5 MHz. Three electrode pairs were used to measure the samples in x-, y- and z-direction. Three machine learning methods were used: K-nearest neighbor (KNN), decision tree (DT) and support vector machines (SVM). The heartwood content of pine chips and bark content of birch chips were classified with an accuracy of 91% using EIS from pure materials combined with a k-nearest neighbour classifier. When using mixed materials and multiple classes, 73% correct classification for pine heartwood content (four groups) and 64% for birch bark content (five groups) were achieved.

Electrical Impedance Spectroscopy for Microtissue Spheroid Analysis in Hanging-Drop Networks.

Project description:Electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) as a label free and noninvasive analysis method receives growing attention for monitoring three-dimensional tissue constructs. In this Article, we present the integration of an EIS readout function into the hanging-drop network platform, which has been designed for culturing microtissue spheroids in perfused multitissue configurations. Two pairs of microelectrodes have been implemented directly in the support of the hanging drops by using a small glass inlay inserted in the microfluidic structure. The pair of bigger electrodes is sensitive to the drop size and allows for drop size control over time. The pair of smaller electrodes is capable of monitoring, on the one hand, the size of microtissue spheroids to follow, for example, the growth of cancer microtissues, and, on the other hand, the beating of cardiac microtissues in situ. The presented results demonstrate the feasibility of an EIS readout within the framework of multifunctional hanging-drop networks.

Time-lapse electrical impedance spectroscopy for monitoring the cell cycle of single immobilized S. pombe cells.

Project description:As a complement and alternative to optical methods, wide-band electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) enables multi-parameter, label-free and real-time detection of cellular and subcellular features. We report on a microfluidics-based system designed to reliably capture single rod-shaped Schizosaccharomyces pombe cells by applying suction through orifices in a channel wall. The system enables subsequent culturing of immobilized cells in an upright position, while dynamic changes in cell-cycle state and morphology were continuously monitored through EIS over a broad frequency range. Besides measuring cell growth, clear impedance signals for nuclear division have been obtained. The EIS system has been characterized with respect to sensitivity and detection limits. The spatial resolution in measuring cell length was 0.25 μm, which corresponds to approximately a 5-min interval of cell growth under standard conditions. The comprehensive impedance data sets were also used to determine the occurrence of nuclear division and cytokinesis. The obtained results have been validated through concurrent confocal imaging and plausibilized through comparison with finite-element modeling data. The possibility to monitor cellular and intracellular features of single S. pombe cells during the cell cycle at high spatiotemporal resolution renders the presented microfluidics-based EIS system a suitable tool for dynamic single-cell investigations.
