Abstract
Dielectric properties of biological substances are usually deduced ex vivo by the way of the impedance measurement of a cell loaded by the investigated medium. At low frequency it is well known that the bioimpedance depends on the polarization effects that occur at the electrodes interface. Measurements being affected for frequencies lower than 50 kHz for standard electrodes, black platinum was used to decrease polarization effects. In this paper, dielectric properties of blood measured at different temperatures are presented for frequencies varying between 100 Hz and 1 MHz.
