Swept frequency electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) can be used in conjunction with tethered bilayer lipid membranes to monitor the membrane permeability of ions in real-time (Deplazes et al. J Phys Chem Lett 11:6353-6358, 2020). Conductance readings, as determined by EIS, are a measure of the ability of ions to be transported across membranes. Recording the change in conductance as a function of cation concentration and a comparison between a range of cations permits conclusions to be made about the specificity of cation transport through pores. An estimate for upper pore size and cation selectivity of ion channels can be established using this method.
