Impedance Analysis of Different Shapes of the Normal and Malignant White Blood Cells

Abstract

In this paper, a 3d numerical study for double shell leukemia cell impedance is presented. A capacitive sensing based technique is used to extract the cell's Clausius-Mossotti factor. The spherical and non-spherical shapes are considered in this work. We found the impedance of non-spherical leukemia shape is higher than the spherical leukemia shape. Also, a full study of impedance for different shapes of normal and malignant white blood cell using numerical simulators is presented and discussed. Moreover, the location of the cell over the sensing electrodes is considered to extract the exact impedance value.
