Biological microparticles detection based on differential capacitive sensing and dielectrophoresis manipulation

The manipulation and detection of living cells are essential requirements for many applications in biology, biotecnology and medicine. In this study, we propose a microfluidic device, which facilitated of a differential capacitively coupled contactless conductively detection (DC4D) coplanar capacitor structure and a dielectrophoresis (DEP) concentrator based on circular electrodes for detecting of living cells. With the proposed device, first, the target and non-Target cells are guided toward the center of the working chamber due to the dielectrophoresis forces. Then the target cells are captured by the electrode covered with aptamers, which possess a high affinity to the target cells. After being flushed to wash away the non-Target cells in the working chamber, the differential capacitance is read to identify the presence of target cells. Numerical simulations of the DEP manipulation and DC4D were performed to proof the concept of the proposed design. A prototype of the proposed device was fabricated using micromachining technology. Manipulation and sensing performances of the device were investigated. The evaluation results show that the capacitance output changes up to 3fF corresponding to the presence of about twenty-five cells captured at the electrode.

Abstract: The manipulation and detection of living cells are essential requirements for many applications in biology, biotecnology and medicine. In this study, we propose a microfluidic device, which facilitated of a differential capacitively coupled contactless conductively detection (DC4D) coplanar capacitor structure and a dielectrophoresis (DEP) concentrator based on circular electrodes for detecting of living cells. With the proposed device, first, the target and non-Target cells are guided toward the center of the working chamber due to the dielectrophoresis forces. Then the target cells are captured by the electrode covered with aptamers, which possess a high affinity to the target cells. After being flushed to wash away the non-Target cells in the working chamber, the differential capacitance is read to identify the presence of target cells. Numerical simulations of the DEP manipulation and DC4D were performed to proof the concept of the proposed design. A prototype of the proposed device was fabricated using micromachining technology. Manipulation and sensing performances of the device were investigated. The evaluation results show that the capacitance output changes up to 3fF corresponding to the presence of about twenty-five cells captured at the electrode.

Multi-class minimax probability machine

This paper investigates the multi-class Minimax Probability Machine (MPM). MPM constructs a binary classifier that provides a worst-case bound on the probability of misclassification of future data points, based on reliable estimates of means and covariance matrices of the classes from the training data points. We propose a method to adapt MPM to multi-class datasets using the one-against-all strategy. And then we introduce an optimal kernel for MPM for each specific dataset found by Genetic Algorithms (GA) [1]. The proposed method was evaluated on stomach cancer data. The obtained results are better and more stable than for using a single kernel.

Study of eta-eta ' mixing from measurement of B-(s)(0) -> J/psi eta((')) decay rates

A study of B and B-s(0) meson decays into J/psi eta and J/psi eta' final states is performed using a data set of proton-proton collisions at centre-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV, collected by the LCHb experiment and corresponding to 3.0 fb(-1) of integrated luminosity. The decay B-0 -> J/psi eta' is observed for the first time. The following ratios of branching fractions are measured: B(B-0 -> J psi eta')/B(B-s(0) -> J psi eta') = (2.28 +/- 0.65 (stat) +/- 0.010 (syst) +/- 0.13 (f(s)/f(d)) x 10(-2) , B(B-0 -> J psi eta')/B(B-s(0) -> J psi eta') = (1.85 +/- 0.65 (stat) +/- 0.09 (syst) +/- 0.11 (f(s)/f(d)) x 10(-2) where the third uncertainty is related to the present knowledge of f(s)/f(d), the ratio between the probabilities for a b quark to form a B-s(0) or a B-0 meson. The branching fraction ratios are used to determine the parameters of eta-eta' meson mixing. In addition, the first evidence for the decay B-s(0) -> ps...
