(a) The radius and membrane capacitance of different cells considered in this work as obtained experimentally by Labeed et al. [11]. The membrane capacitance of SC23 cells is 9.9 ± 0.2 mF/m2 while that of SC27 is 7.6 ± 0.3 mF/m2. The cell radius lies between 6.57 and 7.75 µm; (b) The product of radius and membrane capacitance for SC23 and SC27 is different and can be used to further distinguish the two types of cells. The values of rCmem for SC27 and SC23 used here are (5.40 ± 0.06) × 10−8 F/m and (7.50 ± 0.05) × 10−8 F/m respectively. Note the small deviation on the average values (c). The values of the real part of the Clausius Mossotti factor Re[fCM] for SC23 and SC27 as frequency changes are obtained using Equation (2) using the r and Cmem values shown in Figure 2a. At the frequency of 200 kHz (dashed red line), the cells SC23 and SC27 show the highest difference in their Re[fCM] values, whereas SC23s show a positive value of 0.15, and SC27s show a slight negative −0.02.
