Study of Electrokinetic Possibilities of Bacteria (S.aureus) Separation and Concentration by Developed Four-electrode Biosensor Chip Formats with ITO Microelectrodes in Whole Blood by A. I. Drapeza, S. K. Lazaruk, G. A. Skorokhod, V. A. Loban, T. I. Orekhovskaya, A. I. Khmelnitsky, E. I. Gudkova, A. V. Dolbik

“…It is determined that the amplitude-frequency mode and biosensor chip format can be used to develop methodological support for the identification of bacterial species, but only by optical methods. It is shown that in order to increase the number of bacteria on both of the central electrode in the concentration mode, it is necessary to increase the speed of the electroosmotic flow at alternating current, by optimizing the composition of the medium and the parameters of the electrical regime in order to equalize the rates of separation and concentration processes.…”
