Measurement of bioelectric current with a vibrating probe.
Electric fields, generated by active transport of ions, are present in many biological systems and often serve important functions in tissues and organs. For example, they play an important role in directing cell migration during wound healing. Here we describe the manufacture and use of ultrasensitive vibrating probes for measuring extracellular electric currents. The probe is an insulated, sh...
متن کاملMapping electric currents around skeletal muscle with a vibrating probe
A vibrating microelectrode, or vibrating probe (Jaffe and Nuccitelli, 1974), was used to map the pattern of artificially created electric currents flowing around single muscle fibers at the edge of frog cutaneous pectoris muscles. When a muscle fiber was impaled with a micropipette, a "point sink" of current was often created at the site of impalement because of injury to the cell membrane. Cur...
متن کاملA Fixed Surface Potential Probe with the Swing Capacitive Electrometer Compared to the Vibrating Kelvin Probe
The novel fixed (non-vibrating) Volta potential probe was evaluated in comparison with the standard, vibrating (400 Hz) commercial Kelvin probe. While both tested probes demonstrated the similar behavior, there were significant practical advantages of the novel probe. Specifically, the novel probe allows for the elevated distance to the surface and provides more sensitivity to charge under the ...
متن کاملBioelectric impedance measurement for fluid status assessment.
BACKGROUND Adequacy of body fluid volume improves short- and long-term outcomes inpatients with heart and kidney disorders. Bioelectrical impedance vector analysis (BIVA) has the potential to be used as a routine method at the bedside for assessment and management of body fluids. METHODS Impedance (Z vector) is a combination of resistance, R (function of intra- and extracellular fluid volume)...
متن کاملHybrid Model for Bulk Current Injection Probe
A new hybrid-model for BCI probe is derived . This model is built based on the probe's internal structure without refinements, and by carrying out just one electrical measurement for the reflection coefficient, so that it can be generalized and used in studying the effect of layout parameters in the aim of improving the probe high frequency performance, which helps the developer in design stage...
