Experimental setup. A Photograph of the semi-automated system with the three probes and system of biochips, B close-up view of one electrothermal biochip and the force sensing chip connected to the probes, and C experimental protocol for the ETM measurements (i) sample is loaded into the system, (ii) S1 indents the tissue followed by stress-relaxation for 150s, (iii) S1 retracts, S2 and S3 probe the tissue, make contact, and heats the sample to 37 ℃, and (iv) measurements are captured from the RTDs followed by the impedance characterization
