CASY quantifies cells and particles passing a measuring pore exposed to a low voltage electrical field. Based on a cell’s size and conductivity, a resistance signal is generated and recorded. Living cells generate high resistance signals due to their intact membrane structure. Dying or dead cells cause much lower resistance due to their increased membrane permeability and are measured by the size of their cell nuclei.
