| Abstract | A new, label-free, real time and non-invasive method is presented to detect the presence of infectious parasites in water and determine accurately their concentration by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (E.I.S.) using interdigitated microelectrode array. Cryptosporidium parvum was taken as model. Buffer influence on parasite detection was investigated by comparing parasites suspended in purified water versus phosphate buffer saline. It was shown that a low conductive buffer is required for parasite detection. Different suspensions of C. parvum oocysts were measured in purified water. By fitting resulting electrochemical impedance spectrums with an equivalent electrical circuit, solution conductance was extracted. Conductance increased linearly with C. parvum oocyst concentration. The reasons of conductance modification induced by parasite presence are discussed. Cell constant was calculated for circular interdigitated electrode arrays. Thus sample conductivity can be obtained from raw impedance spectrums and it was established that water conductivity was proportional to C. parvum oocyst amount. This relationship can be expressed by: sigma (Sm(-1))=2.88228x10(-6)xC (oocysts/microl)+1.64565x10(-4) with R(2)=0.99. In this way, E.I.S. can be used as a rapid alternative to current parasite counting procedures which consists in fluorescent staining and microscopic observation. The distinction between dead and living parasites by E.I.S. was also approached. Between 10 kHz and 100 kHz, electrochemical impedance showed a difference of 15% between dead and living oocysts. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
