Dielectric dispersion of suspended cells using 3D reconstructed morphology model.

In the framework of this study, novel method for dispersion analysis of cellular suspensions is presented. The method is fundamentally based on the ability to reconstruct the exact 3D morphology of a given cell with resolution accuracy of few nanometers using AFM imaging. By applying a reverse engineering approach, the morphology of the cell is constructed based on a set of measured spatial points that describes its geometry.

Theoretical examination of aggregation effect on the dielectric characteristics of spherical cellular suspension.

Dielectric dispersion analysis of cellular suspension is generally based on the analogy to equivalent periodic material made up of identical inclusions. However, under true physiological conditions, when coupling and aggregation events usually occur, this analogy can introduce severe errors when attempting to probe the dielectric characteristics of the suspended fraction. In the framework of this study, a theoretical examination of the effect of aggregation on the dielectric characteristics of spherical cellular suspension is presented.
