PCR-based detection in a micro-fabricated platform

Abstract: We present a novel, on-chip system for the electrokinetic capture of bacterial cells and their identification using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The system comprises a glass-silicon platform with a set of micro-channels, -chambers, and -electrodes. A platinum thin film resistor, placed in the proximity of the chambers, is used for temperature monitoring. The whole chip assembly is mounted on a Printed Circuit Board (PCB) and wire-bonded to it. The PCB has an embedded heater that is utilized for PCR the… Show more

“…In a similar process described by Perch-Nielsen et al 165 , pDEP was used to hold Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells, while haemoglobin and heparin were removed. In another integrated system reported by Bhattacharya et al 166 , one set of electrodes inside the bigger chamber (0.6 μL volume) was used to divert bacterial cells from a flow stream into a 0.4 nL chamber, wherein a set of interdigitated electrodes were used to specifically capture and enrich the bacterial cells by DEP. In this manner, Listeria monocytogenes V7 cells were identified using as few as 60 cells collected from a sample of 10 4 CFU/mL in less than 90 min.…”

“…Thus, considerations such as initial sample volume or batch volume are no longer relevant. Previously used methods for handling of sub-micrometer particles included filters, 4,5 dielectrophoresis, [6][7][8] inertia in combination with hydrodynamic forces, 9 magnetophoresis, 10,11 deterministic lateral displacement, 12 and surface acoustic waves (SAW). 13 These methods have been mainly used for handling of bacteria and particles of around 1 μm in diameter.…”

“…Taking advantage of the small volume of the biochip, 10 4 to 10 5 fold concentrations of bacterial cells from a dilute sample can be achieved. Similar platforms can be used to perform Polymerase chain reaction amplification and detection of as few as 10-50 cells of Listeria monocytogenes has been performed using optical fluorescence detection [27]. …”

“…Blood-borne metastasis is initiated by cancer cells that are transported through the circulation from the primary tumor to vital distant organs, and it is directly responsible for most cancer-related deaths [27]. However, CTCs are extraordinarily rare (estimated at one CTC per billion normal blood cells in the circulation of patients with advanced cancer) and they have proven very difficult to isolate in sufficient numbers to be clinically useful.…”
