Detecting DNA in Eukaryotic Cells Using an Integrated Microfluidics Electronic Sensor
Abstract
We have developed an integrated electronic sensor fabricated on a microfluidic chip which can measure the dielectric properties of material flowing through a micron-sized channel. We show that this sensor is advantageous over the usual optical detection techniques for microfluidics as it measures the inherent solid-state property of the analytes to be examined. In this talk, we show that we are able to not only identify small volumes of fluids but, more importantly, detect and diffentiate eukaryotic cells on the basis of DNA content.
