Synopsis:
For many years researchers have used parts of animals, tissues and cells to observe physical and chemical responses. Many areas of science and medicine have been studied using different species, tissue or cell types.
The aim of this project is to develop biosensors based on the response of different cell lines to the presence of chemical substances, through electrochemical signalling.
The data presented here shows the development cell lines (Sf21 and BME/CTVM) and illustrates the growth of the cell lines, cytotoxicity assay and electrophysiology signal response to analyse the effect of a range of chemical substances.
