Abstract
The present work has been undertaken to description of device developed for measurement of the complex permittivity of biological objects in the free water dispersion region. The measuring of test substances both water and two ethanol/water mixtures have been performed. As an example feasible application of this instrument in biological and medical investigations the experimental data obtained in evaluation of human erythrocyte adrenergic activity test are represented.
