Single-Cell Impedance Spectroscopy, David Paul Lange
Single-Cell Impedance Spectroscopy, David Paul Lange
Master's Theses
Impedance spectroscopy (IS) is an important tool for cell detection and characterization in medical and food safety applications. In this thesis, the Cal Poly Biofluidics Lab’s impedance spectroscopy system was re-evaluated and optimized for single-cell impedance spectroscopy. To evaluate the IS system, an impedance spectroscopy bioMEMS chip was fabricated in the Cal Poly Microfabcrication lab, software was developed to run IS experiments, and studies were run to validate the system. To explore IS optimization, Maxwell’s mixture theorem and the Schwartz-Christoffel transform were used to calculate an analytic impedance solution to the co-planar electrode system,a novel volume fraction to account for …

Modeling The Zimmer Fitmore And Ml Taper Implantation, Tyler Kazuo Franklin
Master's Theses
With more young adults requiring total hip
arthroplasties the need for bone saving implants becomes
more important. The Zimmer Fitmore is a new bone saving
implant that utilizes an implantation technique that
reduces the damage to the muscle tissue allowing for
patients to have a short recovery time as well as a new
design that allows it to rest on the medial cortex. There
has been anecdotal evidence that this device leads to early
revision within six months of implantation due to failures
occurring in the medial cortex. The main goal of this
study was to computationally model the Zimmer …
