RAPID BACTERIA DETECTION USING A MICROWAVE RESONANT CAVITY

Abstract Details

2003, MS, University of Cincinnati, Engineering : Electrical Engineering.
In this work, we discuss the development of a novel method of bacteria detection using a microwave resonant cavity and a previously demonstrated culture-based biochip technology. The importance of pathogenic bacteria detection in waste water treatment facilities will also be discussed, as will the description of a novel isolation using the biochip. An overview of EM fields will preclude the introduction of microwave resonant cavity use and resonant frequency perturbation, which will be the basis for this novel bacteria detection technique. The method of the experiment will be outlined in detail, and the positive and exiting results will be displayed and discussed. Possible sources of error will also be introduced, as well as possible directions for future work. It will be demonstrated that this approach can be used as a rapid means of non-contact microorganism detection that could be miniaturized onto a BioMEMS for field-based sensing in environmental and public health applications.
