    摘要: A system for detecting target elements such as bacteria in a host analyte, comprising a substrate with an ordered array of wells having diameters to fit the size of the targets. The substrate may be a periodic macro-PSi array structure (MPSiAS) illuminated with a broadband source. The reflected light spectrum diffracted from the substrate is optically analyzed to provide the effective optical depth of the wells. Fast Fourier Transform analysis may be used for the optical analysis. Entry of target elements into wells is detected by the change in the effective optical depths of the wells. Micro-organisms as large as bacteria and viruses having dimensions comparable with the wavelength of the illumination can thus be detected. Wells with an inner section impenetrable by the target cells enables compensation for environmental changes. The detection may be performed in real time, such that production line bacterial monitoring may be achieved.

    摘要: An apparatus for controlling a microfluidic circuit comprises a single microprocessor which is positioned within a single microprocessor module, the single microprocessor being used for performance in real time of: control of microfluidic components within the microfluidic circuit; accumulation of data from sensors of the microfluidic circuit; and analysis of the accumulated data in order to possibly adjust in real time at least one of the components of the microfluidic circuit based on the analysis results, thereby providing a real-time feedback. The apparatus further comprises a digital control bus for communicating digital control signals from the microprocessor module to one or more digitally-controlled microfluidic components and a sensors bus for communicating signals from one or more sensors to the microprocessor module.
