2.1 Description of the RTCA Analyzer
e RTCA Analyzer is an electronic analyzer that can, under the control of RTCA
So ware, conduct electronic impedance measurement of sensor electrodes at vari-
ous signal frequencies. e RTCA Analyzer is capable of computer-controlled signal
generation, processing and analysis, automatic frequency scanning and rapid measure-
ment. e average measurement speed is approx. 15 seconds for a 96 well plate, or approx.
150 ms for each well.
