Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy is a powerful tool in life science for cell and pathogen detection, as well as for cell counting. The measurement principles and techniques using impedance spectroscopy are highly diverse. Differences can be found in used frequency range (β or α regime), analyzed quantities, like charge transfer resistance, dielectric permittivity of double layer capacitance and in off- or online usage. In recent contributions, applications of low-frequency impedance spectroscopy in the α regime were tested for determination of cell counts and metabolic burden in Escherichia coli and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The established easy to use methods showed reasonable potential in the lab scale, especially for S. cerevisiae. However, until now, measurements for cell counts in food science are generally based on Thoma cell counting chambers. These microscopic cell counting methods decelerate an easy and quick prediction of yeast viability, as they are labor intensive and result in a time delayed response signal. In this contribution we tested our developed method using low frequency impedance spectroscopy locally at an industrial brewery propagation site and compared results to classic cell counting procedures.
