Cell viability is a physiological status connected to cell membrane integrity and cytoplasmic topography, which is profoundly important for fundamental biological research and practical biomedical applications. A conventional method for assessing cell viability is through cell staining analysis. However, cell staining involves laborious and complicated processing procedures and is normally cytotoxic. Intrinsic cellular phenotypes thus provide new avenues for measuring cell viability in a stain-free and non-toxic manner. In this work, we present a label-free non-destructive impedance-based approach for cell viability assessment by simultaneously characterizing multiple electrical cellular phenotypes in a high-throughput manner (>1000 cells per min). A novel concept called the complex opacity spectrum is introduced for improving the discrimination of live and dead cells. The analysis of the complex opacity spectrum
