Researchers have developed a device used to study complex cell behavior using techonology. It is called ECIS which is short for Electic Cell Substrate Impedance Sensing device. The cell is considered an "electronic eavesdropping". It is used to measure activity of a cell overtime. The device could eliminate the need to use live animals to test and measure toxicity levels of chemicals. The device is also not to costly to use. Many universities across the world are able to use it. I think this certain techonology could be a good way to save many animals and not test on them. It also saves time and money and is much more affective when studying complex cell behavior. It allows a new level of detail for the results. The entire traditional procedure is now made easier by a machine.
