− The paper presents an impedance analyzer designed for impedance spectroscopy of objects located in the field. The use of the specialized microsystem AD5933 was assumed. The analysis and tests of the microsystem in the configuration proposed by the manufacturer showed the limitations having meaningful influence on the impedance measurement accuracy. In order to eliminate disadvantages of the m...

This paper describes the development of a low-cost, miniaturized, multiplexed, and connected platform for dielectric impedance spectroscopy (DIS), designed for in situ measurements and adapted to wireless network architectures. The platform has been tested and used as a DIS sensor node on ZigBee mesh and was able to interface up to three DIS sensors at the same time and relay the information th...

Zinc Sulphide particle in the nanometer size regime has been synthesized using chemical routes. The particles were capped using 2-mercaptoethanol to achieve the stability and avoid the coalescence. The as-obtained particles were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV–VIS absorption and photoluminescence (PL) spectra. The dielectric measurements of t...

For a feasible and cost-effective impedance measurement of cellular alterations in real-time, we combined commercially available microelectrode arrays (MEAs), consisting of 60 microelectrodes, with a conventional impedance analyzer. For proof of principle, a breast carcinoma cell line (MCF-7) was cultured on MEAs, and cellular alterations were measured by impedance spectroscopy at a frequency r...

Microstructure and corrosion performance of admiralty brass (ADB) and aluminum brass (ALB) alloys after passing different annealing heat treatments were investigated using optical and scanning electron microscope, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), DC polarization measurements and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The results showed that heat tre...

Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy performed on surface-supported bilayer membranes allows for the monitoring of changes in membrane properties, such as thickness, ion permeability, and homogeneity, after exposure to antimicrobial peptides (AMPs). We show that two model cationic peptides, very similar in sequence but different in activity, induce dramatically different changes in membrane p...

Impedance Spectroscopy resolves electrical properties into uncorrelated variables, as a function of frequency, with exquisite resolution. Separation is robust and most useful when the system is linear. Impedance spectroscopy combined with appropriate structural knowledge provides insight into pathways for current flow, with more success than other methods. Biological applications of impedance s...

We demonstrate a nonfaradaic electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurement of biochemically modified gold plated electrodes using a two-electrode system. The absence of any redox indicator in the impedance measurements provide more precise and accurate characterization of the measured bioanalyte at molecular resolution. An equivalent electrical circuit of the electrodeelectrolyte interface...
