Study of normal and malignant white blood cells by dielectric spectroscopy (CAT#: STEM-ST-0356-WXH)
Introduction
White blood cells are a part of your immune system that protects your body from infection. These cells circulate through your bloodstream and tissues to respond to injury or illness by attacking any unknown organisms that enter your body.
The principle of this technique is to apply an AC signal of small amplitude to an electrode immersed into an electrolyte. The initial disturbance (applied) and the response of the electrode is compared by measuring the phase shift of the current and voltage components and by the measurements of their amplitudes.
Applications
Used to study the response of a sample subjected to an applied electric field of fixed or changing frequency. DS describes the dielectric properties of a material as a function of frequency.
