N2 - This paper presents a microfluidic system enabling continuous characterization of specific membrane capacitance (C specific membrane) and cytoplasm conductivity (σ cytoplasm) of single cells by aspirating cells continuously through a constriction channel with cell elongations and impedance profiles at two frequencies (1 kHz and 100 kHz) measured simultaneously. 1 kHz impedance data were used to evaluate cellular sealing properties and 100 kHz impedance data were used to quantify membrane capacitance and cytoplasm conductance, which were than translated to Cspecific membrane and σ cytoplasm based on the proposed equivalent circuit model. Four cell lines were used to evaluate this technique, producing C specific membrane and σcytoplasm of 3.81±0.90 μF/cm2 and 0.49±0.07 S/m (CRL-5803, n489), 4.28±1.05 μF/cm2 and 0.45±0.08 S/m (CCL-185, n487), 3.67±1.00 μF/cm2 and 0.47±0.09 S/m (CRL-1932, n302), as well as 4.53±1.51 μF/cm2 and 0.55±0.14 S/m (CRL-1999, n216), respectively.
