Automated microbial detection and quantification

Patent ·
OSTI ID:1805570
A method for automated microbial detection includes collecting air particles into a solid-state sampler, the air particles including microbes, charging the air particles using a plasma field generated by propulsion electrodes, focusing the charged air particles toward a sample well of a microfluidic testing cartridge, tagging the charged air particles with a fluorescence marker, and detecting a quantity of the microbes using a fluorescence detector.
