Abstract		Our work deals with numerical and analytical calculations of conduction in disperse systems such as cell suspensions. We considered how cell density and organisation impact current density due to external electric field. Cells were modelled as non-conductive spheres. Using finite-elements method effective conductivity of cell suspension was calculated for different cell volume fractions. Furthermore this results were compared with different analytical expressions for effective conductivity of dispersed systems. The results of finite-elements calculations show good agreement with analytical formulae of Rayleigh and Maxwell.
