2. THICK-ELECTRODE DEP FOR SINGLE-CELL 3D ROTATION
2.7.2 KEY FACTORS IN ELECTRICAL PROPERTY ANALYSIS
e rotation spectrum is mainly determined by four dielectric parameters (permittivity and con-
ductivity (ε
mem
, σ
mem
) of the cell membrane and permittivity and conductivity (ε
cyto
, σ
cyto
) of the
cytoplasm). e dielectric parameters of dierent cells are usually dierent. Without loss of gener-
ality, the cell diameter is set to 15 µm, the cell membrane thickness is set to 20 nm according the
literature [170], and the rotation spectrum curves related to these four parameters can be plotted
according to the parameter settings in Table 2.2.

At the whole frequency range, the eect of conductivity of cell membrane on the rotation
spectrum is negligible (Figure 2.34(a)). When the frequency is < 100 MHz, the eect of permit-
tivity of cytoplasm on the rotation spectrum is negligible (Figure 2.34(b)). When the frequency is
< 100 MHz, permittivity of cell membrane and conductivity of cytoplasm have a signicant eect
on the rotation spectrum (Figure 2.34(c, d)). is experiment was limited by the signal generator
frequency range and the maximum frequency was 20 MHz. erefore, the method of extracting
the dielectric properties of cells can’t essentially distinguish conductivity of cell membrane and
permittivity of cytoplasm. erefore, in the experiment, the two parameters were set to 100ε
0
and
10
-6
S/m according to the literature [165].
e electrical parameters of the cell solution also have an eect on the cell rotation spectrum.
e permittivity and conductivity of the cell membrane were set to 12ε
0
and 10 µS/m, respectively,
and the permittivity and conductivity of the cytoplasm were set to 60ε
0
and 0.4 S/m, respectively.
Figure 2.35 shows the eect of solution permittivity and conductivity on the rotation spectrum.
It can be seen that the permittivity of the solution has signicant inuence on the rotation
spectrum only when the frequency is greater than 100 MHz, and has almost no eect on the ro-
tation spectrum when the frequency is lower than 100 MHz. e change in conductivity of the
solution has obviously inuence on the rotation spectrum over the whole frequency range, so a
lower conductivity (36.5 mS/m) solution was used in the experiment.
