Figure Lengend Snippet: Experimental setup: ( a ) Four culture chamber slides with two chambers each were fabricated in a biocompatible polymer. A PCB held the couple of vertical gold electrodes for each chamber. A flexible flat cable connected the PCB to an external adapter that allowed for manual selection of the culture chamber in which the measurement was performed. Kelvin Clips were connected to the 4192A LF Impedance Analyzer (Keysight Technologies). ( b ) Top view of the culture chambers slides with biopsies. ( c ) Microscopy image of a biopsy suspended in culture medium inside the culture chamber (1.25×). ( d ) Non-suspended biopsy outside the culture chamber (geometry obtained with catheter punch).

Article Snippet: Impedance measurements were performed with a 4192A LF Impedance Analyzer (Keysight Technologies, Santa Rosa, CA, USA) through a custom-made graphical user interface (GUI) developed in LabVIEWTM (National Instruments, Austin, TX, USA).
