The invention provides a method for rapid detection of a specific bacterial species. The method includes preparing a sample, irradiating the prepared sample with an electromagnetic radiation of specific wavelength, capturing the electromagnetic radiation scattered by the sample to obtain a Raman spectra and analyzing the Raman spectra to obtain a unique biochemical signature. The unique biochemical signature identifies a single bacterium within the sample. The method also provides for rapid detection of a group of bacterial species within the sample. The method takes about 1 minute to about 1 hour for the detection of specific bacterial species.

Method for rapid raman spectra detection of a single bacterium or group of bacterial species

A portable electronic device includes a base or first member, a flip or second member, and a hinge mechanism pivotally connecting the second member to the first member for pivotal movement between a closed position and an open position. The hinge mechanism includes a first semi-annular elongated recess and a semi-annular elongated concave member with a semi-annular elongated concave surface, the semi-annular elongated rotation member being pivotally and slidably disposed within the first semi-annular elongated recess, and the semi-annular elongated concave surface of the semi-annular elongated rotation member being exposed when the first member and the second member are in the closed position and being not exposed when the first member and the second member are in the open position.
