Abstract

We present methodology and instrumentation used to carry out and log automated multiple electrical impedance measurements using multiplexed control. We also address the issue of measurement error introduced by the instrumentation, and demonstrate how we reduce these effects in our experiments. Finally, we present two potential applications for our automated electrical impedance analysis systems: tissue scanning and mapping via impedance measurements between arrays of electrodes, and materials testing of novel conductive polymer materials.
