Figure 3From: Rapid identification of bacteria utilizing amplified dielectrophoretic force-assisted nanoparticle-induced surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopyNanocolloid trapping mechanism. (a1) Five micrometers was induced with a negative DEP force to be concentrated in the middle area. (a2) The DEP-assembled microparticle aggregate traps the fluorescent nanocolloids effectively, thus exhibiting an evident fluorescence phenomenon. (b1, b2) NanoDEP trapping result at a lower concentration of fluorescent nanocolloids.Back to article page
