1. A system for the identification of individual microorganisms in a sample comprising:

  • an enclosed chamber comprising;

    a first electrode disposed on a detection surface, wherein the first electrode is a transparent conductive surface;

    a second electrode disposed on a second surface;

    an input port configured to transport a fluid into the chamber;

    an output port configured to transport the fluid out of the chamber;

    a capture surface disposed on the first electrode, wherein the capture surface comprises a binding agent configured to bind the individual microorganisms in spatially discrete locations;

    an electrical controller operably linked to the first and second electrodes and configured to control potential between the first and second electrodes;

    an optical detector configured to detect the individual microorganisms bound to the capture surface; and

    a storage controller configured to perform analysis of an image obtained by the optical detector.
