Description
Rapid detection of live bacteria poses a very important challenge with wide applications in food safety, pharmaceutical manufacturing, clinical diagnostics, environmental monitoring, and global health. We will present an overview of our work in the development of silicon based biochips that aim to integrated various functions such as bacterial culture, electrical detection of bacterial growth, antibody and dielectrophoresis mediated capture of the bacterial cells, and biomolecular identification of the bacteria using PCR on chip, on the same chip. Status, challenges, and future directions will be described.
