| Abstract: A new microfluidic system comprising an automated prototype
insulator-based dielectrophoresis (iDEP) triggering microfluidic device
for pathogen monitoring that can eventually be run outside the laboratory
in a real world environment has been used to demonstrate the feasibility
of automated trapping and detection of particles. The system broadly
comprised an aerosol collector for collecting air-borne particles, an
iDEP chip within which to temporarily trap the collected particles and a
laser and fluorescence detector with which to induce a fluorescence
signal and detect a change in that signal as particles are trapped within
the iDEP chip. |
