Cell sensing and monitoring using capacitive sensors are widely used in cell monitoring because of the flexible and uncomplicated design and fabrication. Previous work from many different fields of applications has integrated capacitive sensing technique with tomography to produce cross-sectional images of the internal dielectric distribution. This paper carried an investigation on the capabilities of four 16-channel sensor electrodes with different electrode sizes to detect the change in the dielectric distribution of the cultured cells. All three 16-channel sensor electrodes are designed and simulate on COMSOL 6.3a Multiphysics. The pre-processing results obtained from three finite element models (FEM) of ECT sensor configurations in detecting the cell phantom shows that bigger electrodes size are more sensitive to permittivity distribution.
