This paper introduces the versatile of an electrokinetic technique by using the non-uniform electric field for dielectrophoresis (DEP) application. This technique is defined as electromicrofluidics. The potential application for portable and real time detection method of Enterococcus faecium (EF), Staphylococcus aureus (SA), Klebsiella pneumoniae (KP), Acinetobacter baumannii (AB), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) and Enterobacter aerogenes (EA), which are the (ESKAPE) bacteria. The MATLAB analytical modelling was used in simulating the polarisation factor and velocities of bacteria based on Clausius-Mossotti factor (CMF). The validation of CMF simulation through the DEP experimental can be quantified based on the response of alternating current (AC) voltage applied using 6 voltage peak to peak (Vp-p) to their input frequencies from 100 to 15000 kHz. The droplet method was deployed to place properly 0.2 μL of sample onto DEP microelectrode. The velocities and crossover frequency (fxo) ranges of bacteria were determined through bacteria trajectory in specific time interval monitored by microscope attached with eyepiece camera. The applied range of input frequencies from 100 to 15000 kHz at 6 Vp-p for each bacteria were successfully identified the unique ranges of frequencies response for detection application. The advantages of this works are selective with rapid capability for multidrug resistant (MDR) bacteria detection application.

This study reports a novel, fast, easy, and sensitive detection method for bacteria which is urgently needed to diagnose infections in their early stages. Our work presents a complex of poly(amidoamine) dendrimer modified by phenylboronic acid and labeled by a fluorescent dansyl group (Dan-B8.5-PAMAM). Our system detects bacteria in 20 min with a sensitivity of approximately 104 colony-forming units (CFU)·mL−1. Moreover, it does not require any peculiar technical skills or expensive materials. The driving force for bacteria recognition is the binding between terminal phenylboronic acids on the probe and bacteria’s surface glycolipids, rather than electrostatic interactions. The aggregation caused by such binding reduces fluorescence. Even though our recognition method does not distinguish between live or dead bacteria, it shows selective antibacterial activity towards Gram-negative bacteria. This study may potentially contribute a new method for the convenient detection and killing of bacteria.

Immunoelectron microscopy (IEM) applied to rapid virus diagnosis offers a more sensitive detection method than direct electron microscopy (DEM), and can also be used to serotype viruses. One of several IEM techniques is that introduced by Derrick in 1972, in which antiviral antibody is attached to the support film of an EM specimen grid. Originally developed for plant viruses, it has recently been applied to several animal viruses, especially rotaviruses. We have investigated the use of this solid phase IEM technique (SPIEM) in detecting and identifying enteroviruses (in the form of crude cell culture isolates), and have compared it with a modified “SPIEM-SPA” method in which grids are coated with protein A from Staphylococcus aureus prior to exposure to antiserum.

Machine fault detection has great practical significance. Compared with the detection method that requires external sensors, the detection of machine fault by sound signal does not need to destroy its structure. The current popular audio-based fault detection often needs a lot of learning data and complex learning process, and needs the support of known fault database. The fault detection method based on audio proposed in this paper only needs to ensure that the machine works normally in the first second. Through the correlation coefficient calculation, energy analysis, EMD and other methods to carry out time-frequency analysis of the subsequent collected sound signals, we can detect whether the machine has fault.
