ImpediMed’s FDA-cleared and CE marked devices use proprietary, non-invasive bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS) technology to measure impedance and phase at 256 frequencies providing research teams valuable, measurable insights into patient fluid and/or tissue status.
Find out how ImpediMed’s BIS technology can benefit your research efforts.
ImpediMed’s bioimpedance spectroscopy devices have been the bioimpedance research technology of choice for nearly three decades. The ability to instantly access raw impedance data over a broad range of 256 frequencies provides a wealth of additional information for researchers. Data such as characteristic frequency, characteristic impedance and cell membrane capacitance are not available from any other bioimpedance technology.
Determining accurate fluid and tissue levels in research subjects, human or not, can be expensive, time consuming, and invasive. Many of the standard techniques are not compatible with the goals of the research and sometimes not even possible.
Bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS) provides a very quick, easy, and non-invasive approach to accurately determining body fluid levels, including discriminating between intracellular and extracellular fluid. This can often also be accomplished on a segmental basis, such as a limb, which is not possible with standard approaches such as isotope dilution analysis. Since BIS is also quick and non-invasive, there is no limit to the number of samples desired.
ImpediMed’s BIS devices provide accurate and precise results for the following:
