Description
Non-invasive techniques for characterizing biological materials are essential for advancing biomedical research. Among these, microwave dielectric spectroscopy (MDS) has emerged as a powerful method for non-invasive, non-destructive, cost-effective and label-free analysis. By measuring the interaction of microwave frequencies with biological structures, MDS provides insights into hydration, cellular density, and metabolic activity without damaging the sample. While MDS has been successfully applied to 2D biological systems, its adaptation for assessment of 3D samples remains largely unexplored. A few years ago, our team initiated efforts to bridge this gap, and this paper presents our progress while exploring the application of MDS to 3D biological objects, including cancerous hepatic spheroids.
