A method for measuring the physicochemical properties of tissues or cells for arbitrarily varying the physicochemical environment around the tissues or cells depending on the purpose of an experiment and an apparatus therefor. The apparatus involves means (40) for maintaining the regular physicochemical environment around a tissue or cells of an organism; means (50) for arbitrarily varying the physicochemical environment; means (10 and 20) for measuring the physicochemical properties of the above-mentioned tissue or cells; and means (30) for comparing the physicochemical properties of the tissue or cells before and after varying the physicochemical environment. The monitoring means (10) is a potentiometer for measuring the electrical and physiological properties of the tissue or cells which involves an integrated cell installation system (1) provided with two or more micro-electrodes (11) on a substrate, cell installation members (6) located thereon for installing the above-mentioned tissue or cells and a leading pattern (12) whereby electric signals are supplied to the micro-electrodes (11) and drawn out therefrom.

La présente invention concerne un procédé de mesure de propriétés physico-chimiques de tissus ou de cellules pour faire varier de manière arbitraire l'environnement physico-chimique entourant les tissus ou cellules en fonction de l'objet d'une expérience. L'invention concerne aussi un équipement correspondant. Cet équipement comprend un organe (40) servant à maintenir l'environnement physico-chimique normal autour d'un tissu ou de cellules d'un organisme, un organe (50) servant à modifier de manière arbitraire ledit environnement, des organes (10) et (20) de mesure des propriétés physico-chimiques des tissus ou cellules mentionnés, et un organe (30) de comparaison de ces propriétés avant et après la modification de l'environnement. L'organe de surveillance (10) est un potentiomètre servant à mesurer les propriétés électriques et physiologiques du tissu ou des cellules, qui comprend un système intégré (1) d'installation de cellules, pourvu de deux micro-électrodes (11) ou davantage sur un support, des éléments d'installation de cellules (6) placés dessus pour installer le tissu ou les cellules mentionnés, et un motif pilote (12). Des signaux électriques sont fournis aux micro-électrodes (11) et y sont prélevés.
