Thanks to Sidahmed Abayzeed and Emilia Moradi. Summary: I’ve started making impedance spectroscopy measurements with a potentiostat in the iBidi devices. The data is noisy, but there is a clear change in the curve characteristic as cells grow upon the nanomembrane.…

My PhD exam was postponed (tentatively to early September but it’s up in the air still) due to an impending bureaucratic nightmare, so for the last few weeks I have been running more filter experiments, and I have discovered some…
