Abstract
A device for the detection of target entities, the device including: a fluidic channel to conduct a liquid sample containing at least one type of target entity to be detected; and mutually spaced electrodes disposed along the fluidic channel; wherein the mutually spaced electrodes are functionalized to selectively bond to the at least one type of target entity and are configured to electro-hydrodynamically pump the liquid sample along the fluidic channel on application of a signal to the electrodes, such that selectivity of attachment of the at least one type of target entity to the electrodes is determined by at least one parameter of the signal.
