An integrated dielectrophoretic chip for continuous bioparticle filtering, focusing, sorting, trapping, and detecting
Biomicrofluidics 1, 021503 (2007); doi:10.1063/1.2723669
Published 10 May 2007
Multi-target pathogen detection using heterogeneous medical samples require continuous filtering, sorting, and trapping of debris, bioparticles, and immunocolloids within a diagnostic chip. We present an integrated AC dielectrophoretic (DEP) microfluidic platform based on planar electrodes that form three-dimensional (3D) DEP gates. This platform can continuously perform these tasks with a throughput of 3 µL/min. Mixtures of latex particles, Escherichia coli Nissle, Lactobacillus, and Candida albicans are sorted and concentrated by these 3D DEP gates. Surface enhanced Raman scattering is used as an on-chip detection method on the concentrated bacteria. A processing rate of 500 bacteria was estimated when 100 µl of a heterogeneous colony of 107 colony forming units /ml was processed in a single pass within 30 min.
