We developed a method to regenerate arrayed gold microelectrodes equipped for a commercial label-free cell analyzer. The regeneration process includes efficient treatment of the gold surface with trypsin (0.25%, v/v) digestion, rinsing with ethanol and deionized water and spinning steps. The proposed method ensured complete regeneration and repeated usage of gold microchips up to 4 times for the real-time electric impedance measurement of anti-cancer drug cytotoxicity.
