Abstract: The  aim  of  the  study  was  to  present  a  method  for  assessing  the condition of  cell  culture  by  measuring  the  impedance  of  cells  cultured  in  the presence of nickel. For this purpose, an impedance measurement technique using nickel comb capacitors was used. The capacitor electrodes were made using a thin film magnetron sputtering. In the experimental part, the culture of cells of mouse fibroblasts on the prepared substrate was performed. The cell culture lasted 43 hours and showed that the presented technique allows it to be used to analyze the effect of nickel on cells.
