Microbial separation from a complex matrix by a hand-held microfluidic device. Chemical Communications (Cambridge, England), 53(78), 10788-10791.https://hdl.handle.net/11299/255073Through a simple chemical activation of biomolecules present in the outer structures of microbial cells, microorganisms can be rapidly isolated on gold-coated surfaces in a microfluidic device with over 99% capture efficiency. Bacterial and fungal cells can be selectively captured, concentrated and retrieved for further analysis.enArticle10.1039/c7cc06310e
