Dielectrophoretic sample preparation for environmental monitoring of microorganisms: Soil particle removal.
Detection of pathogens from environmental samples is often hampered by sensors interacting with environmental particles such as soot, pollen, or environmental dust such as soil or clay. These particles may be of similar size to the target bacterium, preventing removal by filtration, but may non-specifically bind to sensor surfaces, fouling them and causing artefactual results. In this paper, we...
متن کاملSoil Sample Preparation and Extraction
In the Northeast, routine testing of soil samples invariably begins with a drying step and is followed by some form of pulverization. Analysis of dried, ground, sieved soils allows for more convenient sample handling and greater reproducibility of results in comparison with analysis of field-moist soil. Sample preparation steps, although often taken for granted, have frequently been shown to si...
متن کاملCombination Ultrasonic- Dielectrophoretic Particle Traps for Particle Trapping and Sample Purification in a Microfluidic Channel
Ultrasonic and dielectrophoretic particle manipulation have been studied for particle trajectory modification and particle trapping in microfluidic channels. We report an approach that combines dielectrophoresis (DEP) and ultrasonic fields to trap and concentrate particles and cells in an aqueous suspension. By simultaneously applying electric and ultrasonic fields to the sample, the favorable ...
متن کاملPart II: Sample Preparation for AFM Particle Characterization
Scanning Probe Microscopy has been routinely employed as a surface characterization technique for nearly 20 years. Atomic Force Microscopy is the most widely used subset of SPM, which can be used in ambient conditions with minimum sample preparation. AFM is able to measure three-dimensional topography information from the angstrom level to the micron scale with unprecedented resolution. This pa...
متن کاملDielectrophoretic traps for single-particle patterning.
We present a novel microfabricated dielectrophoretic trap designed to pattern large arrays of single cells. Because flowing away untrapped cells is often the rate-limiting step during cell patterning, we designed the trap to be strong enough to hold particles against practical flow rates. We experimentally validated the trap strength by measuring the maximum flow rate that polystyrene beads cou...
