Fast and sensitive detection of bacteria from a water droplet by means of electric field effects and micro-Raman spectroscopy

A surface-based method that can provide early and label-free detection of target microorganisms in water is presented. The method combines three key features, namely, (a) accelerated transportation to, and focusing of bacteria on, the detection surface by means of alternating current (AC) electrokin...
