Diagnostic complex for measurement of the condition of biological tissues and liquids
First Claim
1. An assembly kit for an apparatus for simultaneously obtaining a biological sample and measuring the electrical resistance of said sample at at least two different frequencies for diagnosis of a condition of said sample, comprising:
- a main case comprising a tube and demountable handle;
an aspirating needle adapted to be connected to the main case at least partially inside said tube, for obtaining a sample of biological liquid and for serving as an active electrode in contact with said biological sample;
a liquid collector adapted to be connected to said aspirating needle to receive said sample of said biological liquid, said liquid collector comprising a metal conductor in electrical contact with said needle and a metal piston, wherein at the determination of said condition of said biological liquid said needle executes the role of active electrode, and said metal piston executes the role of passive electrode; and
an electroimpedancemeter adapted to be electrically connected to said active and passive electrodes, for simultaneous measurement of said electrical resistance of the sample at at least two different frequencies.

Abstract
Assembly kit for an apparatus and a method for simultaneously obtaining biological sample and measuring its electrical resistance at at least two different frequencies for diagnosis of sample condition. The apparatus includes a main case; an aspirating needle connected to main case for obtaining biological liquid sample; a liquid collector connected to aspirating needle for receiving biological liquid has a metal conductor in electrical contact with the needle and a metal piston; and an electro-impedance meter. The method includes the steps of contacting biological tissue with an electrically conductive hook having a pointed end as a first electrode and a second electrode; measuring electrical impedance of the biological tissue contacted with the first and second electrodes at at least two different frequencies; and excising a part of the biological tissue with the pointed end of the hook to obtain a sample of the biological tissue.
