    摘要: A novel apparatus and method is described for detection of very small quantities (a few hundred molecules) of bioparticles in nanoliter/picoliter quantities of a sample. The apparatus involves a very small and low cost apparatus that contains a fluorometer. The detection process uses the fluorescence of nanoparticles. Dielectrophoresis is used to concentrate, mix and position the target particles with regard to the light sensor such that maximum detection efficiency is achieved. This allows low cost implementation of low cost point of care tests for disease (animal and plant), infection, food-borne bacteria detection, nucleotide sequencing and pathogen detection (bioterrorism) in real world applications.

    摘要: The field of the invention relates generally to the detection of antigens, including, but not limited to, quantum dots (Qdots) and metal oxide nanoparticles. More specifically, the invention relates to the detection of antigens on a surface or in a source, which antigens include bacteria, viruses, and small proteins. In some embodiments, the invention can be used to detect biological warfare agents, such as anthrax and ricin. In some embodiments, the invention can be used for early detection of diseases in human and animals. The invention may utilize a swab-test and may further utilize a filtration process, such as with a syringe-disc.
