    Abstract: Disclosed are an electrical impedance monitoring device, system and method for locomotion behaviors of C. elegans. A microfluidic channel layer and a gas channel layer form a double-layer structure by bonding, and the double-layer structure is tightly fixed to a circuit board with nylon screws. An electrode array configured as a concentric circle structure is arranged on the circuit board and used for realizing EIT monitoring of C. elegans. The microfluidic channel layer comprises a culture and monitoring chamber and a C. elegans transition channel and used for long-term culture and cyclic monitoring of C. elegans. The gas channel layer comprises a gas inlet and a gas channel and used for applying a gas pressure to squeeze an upper wall of the microfluidic channel layer to form a membrane valve to close the microfluidic channel layer.

    Abstract: Disclosed a passive wireless sensor for detecting discrete droplets and bubbles. A first inductor channel and a second inductor channel are disposed opposite each other to form a capacitor channel, the first inductor channel is connected to the second inductor channel to form a resonant circuit. When a detection object passes through the detection channel, the permittivity between the first inductor channel and the second inductor channel changes and consequently a capacitance value of the capacitor channel changes, thus resulting in a change in resonant frequency of the resonant circuit. A readout device is used to read the resonant frequency of the resonant circuit and perform detection according to the resonant frequency to obtain information of a corresponding detection object.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a passive wireless device for microfluidic detection of multi-level droplets. A primary inductor channel and a secondary inductor channel each comprise two layers of inductance coils, and the inductance coils of the primary inductor channel and the secondary inductor channel are alternately arranged in each layer. A double-resonance circuit is formed after a liquid conductive material is injected. A first part of a detection channel is disposed between a primary capacitor channel, and a second part of a detection channel is disposed between a secondary capacitor channel. A reading device is used to read a resonant frequency of the double-resonance circuit, and perform detection according to the resonant frequency to obtain information of a corresponding first droplet group and/or second droplet group.
