The US Army's need for a reliable and field‐portable drinking water toxicity sensor was the
catalyst for the development and evaluation of an electric cell–substrate impedance sensing …

This manuscript describes how to prepare fluidic biochips with Rainbow trout gill epithelial
(RTgill-W1) cells for use in a field portable water toxicity sensor. A monolayer of RTgill-W1 …

A major limitation to using mammalian cell-based biosensors for field testing of drinking
water samples is the difficulty of maintaining cell viability and sterility without an on-site cell …

Rainbow trout gill epithelial cells (RTgill-W1) are used in a cell-based biosensor that can
respond within one hour to toxic chemicals that have the potential to contaminate drinking …

A number of toxicity sensors for testing field water using a range of eukaryotic cell types
have been proposed, but it has been difficult to identify sensors with both appropriate …

Comprehensive identification of chemical contaminants in Army field water supplies can be
a lengthy process, but rapid analytical methods suitable for field use are limited. A …

This paper presents a lab-on-chip biosensor containing an enclosed fluidic cell culturing
well seeded with live cells for rapid screening of toxicants in drinking water. The sensor is …

Using ECIS (electric cell-substrate impedance sensing) to monitor the impedance of
vertebrate cell monolayers provides a sensitive measure of toxicity for a wide range of …

A bioelectrochemical sensing system (BES) based on electroactive bacteria (EAB) has been
used as a new and promising tool for water toxicity assessment. However, most EAB can …

This research presents a study of cell-based Electric Cell-substrate Impedance Sensing
(ECIS) sensors employed for testing toxicants in real-time. Mammalian cells are exposed to …
