Abstract
Algae play an important role in the global carbon cycle. We explore the use of microfluidic single-cell impedance spectroscopy in the field of calcifying algae. The ratio of the impedance at high frequency vs. low frequency, known as opacity, allows us to discriminate between calcified coccolithophores and coccolithophores with a calcite exoskeleton dissolved by acidification (decalcified). In the experimental work we demonstrate that we can discriminate between calcified and decalcified coccolithophores with an accuracy of 94.1% using opacity.
