Abstract

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de mesure de la concentration de particules. Il comprend un générateur de diélectrophorèse (200), un module de mesure (300), et un générateur de résultats (400). Le générateur de diélectrophorèse crée dans la solution de particules un champ électrique irrégulier d'un volume prédéfini qui, en provoquant un déplacement des particules de la solution un sens défini, leur fait former une masse de particules. Le module de mesure prend la mesure de l'information de largeur de la masse de particules selon le sens défini. Le générateur de résultats reçoit l'information de largeur puis déduit la concentration des particules à partir de l'information de largeur et d'une relation préalablement enregistrée entre la largeur et la concentration des particules.
