The iCelligence S16 is a small single slide system that works in a tissue culture incubator. It measures electron flow between electrodes that lay at the bottom the slide. In presence of cells, flow is perturbed (impeded). The magnitude of impedance depends on the number of cells, their size, shape, adherence to substrate, etc. Thus, one can quantify the mitotic index of cells, their adherence, reaction to drugs, etc. You need specialised slides to use this system.
