Abstract: This paper focuses on biological applications of bio-sensor which can detect the presence of bacteria that causes cholera disease. This mainly concentrates on a bio sensing device which works on the principle of capacitance modulation with respect to the chemical composition of the material. The main components in the device are micro fluidic structure, functionalized sensing block, measurements system. The sensing part is the Capacitance modulation in the presence and absence of bacteria in the fluid. The capacitance value measured is now given to a chip. The chip consists of capacitor to voltage converter, signal conditioning unit. Finally, The output of chip is given to the display unit.

Keywords: Bio-Sensors, Capacitance Modulation
