Abstract The presence of bacterial pathogens in water can lead to severe complications such as infection and food poisoning. This research proposes a point-of-care electroosmotic flow driven microfluidic device for rapid isolation and detection of E. coli in buffered solution (phosphate buffered saline solution). Fluorescent E. coli bound to magnetic microbeads were driven through the microfluidic device using both constant forward flow and periodic flow switching at concentrations ranging from 2 × 105 to 4 × 107 bacteria/mL. A calibration curve of fluorescent intensity as a function of bacteria concentration was created using both constant and switching flow, showing an increase in captured fluorescent pixel count as concentration increases. In addition, the use of the flow switching resulted in a significant increase in the capture efficiency of E. coli, with capture efficiencies up to 83% ± 8% as compared to the constant flow capture efficiencies (up to 39% ± 11%), with a sample size of 3 µL. These results demonstrate the improved performance associated with the use of the electroosmotic flow switching system in a point-of-care bacterial detection assay.

AbstractThe large optical detection systems that are typically utilized at present may not be able to reach their full potential as portable analysis tools. Accurate, early, and fast diagnosis for many diseases requires the direct detection of biomolecules such as DNA, proteins, and cells. In this research, a glass microchip with integrated microelectrodes has been fabricated, and the performance of electrochemical impedance detection was investigated for the biomolecules. We have used label-free λ-DNA as a sample biomolecule. By changing the distance between microelectrodes, the significant difference between DW and the TE buffer solution is obtained from the impedance-frequency measurements. In addition, the comparison for the impedance magnitude of DW, the TE buffer, and λ-DNA at the same distance was analyzed.
