This publication describes the fabrication of an organ-on-chip device with integrated electrodes for direct quantification of transendothelial electrical resistance (TEER). For validation, the blood-brain barrier was mimicked inside this microfluidic device and its barrier function was monitored. The presented methods for electrode integration and direct TEER quantification are generally applicable.

On comparing the reactivity of silver and lead, it is observed that the two ionic species, Ag+ (aq) and Pb2+ (aq), show a difference in their redox reactivity towards copper: the silver ion undergoes spontaneous reduction, while the lead ion does not. This relative redox activity can be easily quantified in electrochemical cells by a property called cell potential. This property is commonly known as cell voltage in electrochemistry, and it is a measure of the energy which accompanies the charge...

Non-fouling PEG silane monolayer was desorbed from individually addressable ITO electrodes on glass by application of a reductive potential. Electrochemical stripping of PEG-silane layer from ITO microelectrodes allowed for cell adhesion to take place in a spatially defined fashion, with cellular patterns corresponding closely to electrode patterns.
FAQs
Material and geometry establish the electrode’s electrical behavior, while the surrounding electrolyte or tissue adds environmental effects. The electrode–tissue interface also contributes substantially because it mediates conversion between ionic currents in the biological environment and electronic currents in the electrode. Consequently, changing electrode construction or contact conditions can alter the measured resistance and the reliability of neural measurements.
The interface is the point where ionic currents in tissue or electrolyte are converted into electronic currents in the electrode. Its contribution means that the measured value does not reflect electrode material alone. Interface-related changes can therefore influence how faithfully extracellular activity is recorded and how efficiently externally applied currents reach neural tissue during stimulation experiments.
Resistance influences several experimental outcomes at once. In recordings, it affects thermal noise and signal amplitude, which can change the clarity of measured neural activity. During stimulation, it influences efficiency, while unfavorable resistance conditions can contribute to recording artifacts. Monitoring this property helps researchers recognize whether electrical performance may be limiting interpretation or delivery.
Researchers apply a known current to the electrode and measure the resulting voltage. The resistance estimate follows from Ohm’s law, which relates voltage, current, and resistance. This approach provides a practical electrical check without relying only on the electrode’s nominal material or geometry, because the measured value also reflects the surrounding electrolyte or tissue and the electrode–tissue interface.
A resistance check should be interpreted in relation to electrode construction, surrounding electrolyte or tissue, and the quality of electrode–tissue contact. In extracellular recordings, neural implants, and brain stimulation experiments, the measurement can help assess electrode placement and contact quality. Reviewing these factors together gives more useful information than treating the resistance value as an isolated specification.
Monitoring is particularly relevant during extracellular recordings, neural implant studies, and brain stimulation experiments. In recording applications, it can help identify contact conditions that may affect signal amplitude, noise, or artifacts. For stimulation, the value provides information related to current-delivery efficiency. Across these settings, resistance measurements support evaluation of electrode placement and contact quality.
