Abstract

Ionic membrane currents play an important role during regeneration of nerve cells, embryonic development and wound healing processes. Measuring the intracellular ion currents across the cell membrane is important in understanding the cellular functions related to the ion activities. A novel patch micro electrode array (p-MEA) for measuring the ionic membrane currents without poisoning the cells due to emitting metal ions is described in this paper. Results on biocompatibility of the device are presented. We discuss the fabrication and working principle of p-MEA.
