Abstract
Transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER) measurements are often used in organs-on-chips to monitor the barrier tightness of e.g. gut epithelium. Here, we present a chip with four integrated electrodes and a four-terminal alternating current (AC) measurement protocol to perform TEER measurements. The resulting impedance spectra are interpreted using electrical simulations, which include the chip with microfluidic channels, the four electrodes, the AC measurement protocol and the intestinal barrier cultured inside the device, which is modelled as a flat monolayer or as tissue with villi. Eventually, these simulations will be used to quantify TEER in Ohms*cm^2 to enable comparison among different platforms.
