Abstract
A sensing structure is provided and includes a tubular element through which a fluid is flowable along a single path, an array of sensors disposed along a length of the tubular element whereby the fluid is flowable through each of the sensors and sensing circuitry electrically connected with each of the sensors and configured to measure a reactance of each of the sensors and to determine whether any reactance is indicative of a presence of a biological cell in the fluid flowing through the corresponding sensors.
