Antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) are a key measure in clinical microbiology laboratories to enable appropriate antimicrobial administration. During an AST, the determination of the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) is an...

We developed a microfluidic microwell device integrating SERS substrate for an efficient bacteria encapsulation and enrichment followed by in situ SERS-AST measurement, which can potentially apply for high throughput and multi-parallel AST.
