Apparatus for pathogen detection

A device for capture of an analyte, the device comprising at least one unit having integrated components, comprising:

• a first injection chamber configured to store a biological material;
• a second injection chamber configured to store a reference solution;
• a microfluidic separator comprising a plurality of plates patterned with a first set of electrodes on at least one side and a plurality of internal channel structures having a second set of electrodes patterned on at least one internal surface of the internal channel structures, wherein each of said plurality of internal channel structures is sandwiched between two of said plurality of plates which together form an array of microfluidic channels, the microfluidic separator further comprising an insulator layer forming a wall of the microfluidic separator, and
• a condenser having a collecting electrode for localizing and/or capturing the biological material trapped and/or separated by said microfluidic separator;
• a microfluidic sensor for sensing and/or analyzing the biological material trapped and/or separated by said microfluidic separator and localized and/or captured by the collecting electrode, the microfluidic sensor comprising at least one sensing electrode;
• and
• a waste chamber for collecting waste separated from the biological material and into the microfluidic waste channel via the microfluidic separator.
