We propose and demonstrate a simple, ultra sensitive radio frequency (RF) sensor to detect a single yeast cell and distinguish its viability in a microfluidic channel. On-chip interference is used to cancel background probing signals to improve sensor sensitivity. Individual viable and nonviable yeast cells (approximately 5.83 +/- 0.85 microm in diameter) are measured with clear sensing and identification of these cells.
我们提出并演示了一种简单、超灵敏的射频(RF)传感器,用于在微流道中检测单个酵母细胞并区分其活力。采用片上干扰来消除背景探测信号,以提高传感器的灵敏度。通过清晰的感应和识别,可以测量单个存活和非存活的酵母细胞(直径约为 5.83 ± 0.85 微米)。
