Implementation of Single Cell Dielectrophoresis as a Tool for Bioprocess Optimization$31.5Kvalue2020start2022end

Dielectric properties of cells play an important role during growth conditions in batch culture. Studies have demonstrated that the dielectric properties of cells can be used as an indicator of the state of cells in culture. Therefore, monitoring dielectric properties of cells such as intracellular conductivity during batch and fed-batch culture is being investigated as a tool for optimizing the productivity and quality of bioprocesses. Dielectric spectroscopy, known as capacitance measurement, is the key technique for monitoring the dielectric properties of the bulk cell culture. However, the
