Alternating current (AC) electrokinetics is a set of different effects that can be used for the manipulation of nano-particles in a non-uniform electric field. Here, we present an AC-electrokinetic driven sensor for the manipulation and movement of biological nanoparticles. This sensor consists of four individual arrays, each built up of more than 6000 nano-electrodes with a diameter of 500 nm each. Individually controlled functionalization of the sub-arrays is performed by AC electrokinetic forces: dielectrophoresis and AC electroosmosis. Consequently, molecules like antibodies can be attracted to the electrode surface. This allows the local concentration of the analyte at the sensor surface. Since these arrays can be addressed individually, each array can be functionalized with a different antibody. Thus, it is possible to detect, characterize and subtype different strains of the influenza virus. Additionally, each electrode is part of an on-chip resonant circuit, whose frequency changes with surface coverage of the electrode and, hence, serves as a measure of the amount of viruses bound to the antibody. The universal chip design does not limit the application to influenza viruses but also to different viruses, bacteria and parasites.
