  • System and method for detecting pathogens
    Patent number: 9823249
    Abstract: A method of detecting a pathogen in a sample. The pathogen from the sample is captured with at least one recognition element. The sample is introduced to a paper-based microfluidic device having spaced electrodes disposed thereon. An impedance magnitude of the sample is measured across the spaced electrodes to detect a presence of the pathogen in the sample. A related paper-based microfluidic device and system are also disclosed.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 12, 2013
    Date of Patent: November 21, 2017
    Assignee: Brigham and Women's Hospital, Inc.
    Inventors: Utkan Demirci, Hadi Shafiee

  • DEVICES AND METHODS FOR CONTACTLESS DIELECTROPHORESIS FOR CELL OR PARTICLE MANIPULATION
    Publication number: 20150247820
    Abstract: Devices and methods for performing dielectrophoresis are described. The devices contain sample channel which is separated by physical barriers from electrode channels which receive electrodes. The devices and methods may be used for the separation and analysis of particles in solution, including the separation and isolation of cells of a specific type. As the electrodes do not make contact with the sample, electrode fouling is avoided and sample integrity is better maintained.
