Development of automated system concept intended for the electrochemical evaluation of micro-objects

Abstract

This paper presents the automated system for the electrochemical evaluation of micro-objects. Electrochemistry at microelectrodes, positioned close to the object of interest, can provide the information about the electric properties and chemical reactivity of non-biological objects, for biological objects – the viability and electrochemical activity. Successful positioning of the microelectrode at desirable distance from the micro-object leads to reliable experiments and ensures the repeatability of results. Automated positioning and scanning of the micro-object should ensure that the quality requirements for the measured data will be fulfilled.
