Capture of Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacterial particles on the edges of the electrodes by dielectrophoresis using the CAPTURE-XT® chip

Caption

Representative sputum samples from: A: smear negative, but culture positive (very low bacillary load); B: smear positive grade +1; C: smear positive grade 2+. A correlation between smear positive grading of the sputum sample and the visual count of captured particles of bacilli (indicated by arrows) is seen.
