  • Patent number: 10751717
    Abstract: A microfluidic chip for collecting dielectric particles in a fluid sample to be tested includes an insulating substrate, a first interdigitated electrode, a second interdigitated electrode, and a dielectric layer. The dielectric layer is formed on the first and second interdigitated electrodes and is made from a semiconductive inorganic material having a dielectric constant of from 3.7 F/m to 80 F/m.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20180149644
    Abstract: A biosensor includes a microstrip resonator, a collection actuator disposed adjacent to and spaced from the microstrip resonator, a port unit connected to a network analyzer and coupled with the microstrip resonator, and a substrate. The microstrip resonator includes a collecting portion provided with an analyte-specific reagent (ASR) for binding an analyte in a suspension. The collection actuator and the microstrip resonator are applied with alternating current (AC) electric energy to induce AC electrokinetic stirring in the suspension for actuating the binding. The microstrip resonator resonates at a resonant frequency associated with the binding so that the analyte can be quantified.
