Title: Detecting microscopic bodies using dielectrophoretic separation
Inventor: MILNER KEITH RICHARD
IPC: B03C5/02
Filed: 2000-01-22
Abstract: A method and apparatus for determining the quantity of microscopic bodies, particularly microorganisms, in a sample. The apparatus includes a substrate (10) supporting two pairs of electrodes 4, 6, 4A, 6A of similar configuration and defining a pair of fluid channels 8, 8A over the electrodes. The sample is circulated to electrodes 4, 6 and a liquid of similar electrical properties to electrodes 4A, 6A. The electrode pairs are energised from a source 48 having a particular frequency which, by dielectrophoresis, attracts specific microorganisms to the electrode pair 4, 6. It has been found that the change in capacitance is directly related to the amount of microorganism build-up on the electrodes. By using the second pair of electrodes 4A, 6A as a reference, and applying a second voltage 44 at a frequency which does not attract the microorganisms to the electrodes, the change in impedance due to microorganism build-up on the electrodes can be determined. The capacitive element of the impedance change can then be determined by measuring both the voltages across the two pairs of electrodes as well as their phase change relative to the source 44.
