Abstract
The disclosure relates to wireless detection of analytes (such as bacteria) labeled by electrically, dielectrically, or magnetically active nanoparticles, for example in quality control monitoring for food supply chain management. The disclosed apparatus includes a detection vessel or vial, a resonant sensor tag, an inductively coupled reader to induce and detect resonance in the sensor tag, and an active nanoparticle for labeling. The disclosed wireless detection apparatus and methods use active nanoparticles for the development of wireless sensor systems which can be designed to be compatible with the existing RFID technology infrastructure. For example, commercial RFID readers (e.g., hand-held) used for tracking and tracing operation can be used with the disclosed apparatus to induce and measure a corresponding resonance frequency.
