How does it work?
CASY measures cells and particles by passing a measuring pore vulnerable to a low-voltage electrical field. Depending on the size and conductivity of the cell, a resistance signal has been produced and recorded.
Living cells tend to produce high resistance signals as a result of their intact membrane structure. Dying or dead cells result in much lower resistance by virtue of increased membrane permeability and are quantified by the size of their cell nuclei.
