An electrospraying apparatus and/or method is used to coat particles. For example, a flow including at least one liquid suspension may be provided through at least one opening at a spray dispenser end. The flow includes at least particles and a coating material. A spray of microdroplets suspending at least the particles is established forward of the spray dispenser end by creating a nonuniform electrical field between the spray dispenser end and an electrode electrically isolated therefrom. The particles are coated with at least a portion of the coating material as the microdroplet evaporates. For example, the suspension may include biological material particles.

What is claimed is: 1. An apparatus for coating particles, the apparatus comprising: a source comprising at least one suspension, wherein the source comprising the at least one suspension comprises at least particles and coating material; a capillary tube electrode, wherein the capillary tube elect
What is claimed is: 1. An apparatus for coating particles, the apparatus comprising: a source comprising at least one suspension, wherein the source comprising the at least one suspension comprises at least particles and coating material; a capillary tube electrode, wherein the capillary tube electrode includes a capillary tube having a first open end and a second open end, the capillary tube operatively connected to the source to receive a flow of at least the suspension at the first open end thereof; and an electrode isolated from but positioned in proximity to the second open end of the capillary tube, wherein a nonuniform electrical field is created between the capillary tube electrode and the electrode isolated therefrom such that a spray of microdroplets suspending at least the particles is provided from the second end of the capillary tube, and further wherein the particles are coated with at least a portion of the coating material as the microdroplet evaporates. 2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the particles comprise carrier particles and the coating material comprises biological material. 3. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the particles comprise biological material particles. 4. The apparatus of claim 3, wherein the coating material comprises a facilitating transfer material. 5. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein an electrical charge is concentrated on the coated particles as the microdroplet evaporates, and further wherein a space charge effect of the concentrated electrical charge substantially prevents agglomeration of the coated particles. 6. The apparatus of claim 5, wherein the electrical charge concentrated on a coated particle is in the range of about 80 percent to about 95 percent of a maximum charge that is held by the microdroplet. 7. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the particles have a nominal diameter of about 2 nanometers to about 1 micron. 8. The apparatus of claim 7, wherein the particles have a nominal diameter of about 10 nanometers to about 100 nanometers. 9. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the particle source provides a continuous source of the suspension to the capillary tube. 10. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the capillary tube electrode further comprises a casing concentric with at least a portion of the capillary tithe between the first and second open ends thereof, the second open end of the capillary tube extending beyond the casing a predetermined distance, and further wherein the apparatus includes a gas source providing a gas to be received between the capillary tube and the concentric casing. 11. An apparatus for coating particles, the apparatus comprising: a particle source comprising at least particles to be coated; a coating material source comprising at least coating material; a capillary tube electrode having a dispensing tip, wherein the capillary tube electrode includes: a first capillary tube having a first open end and a second open end, the first capillary tube operatively connected to receive a flow of at least one of particles and coating material at the first open end thereof, and a second capillary tube concentric with at least a portion of the first capillary tube, wherein at least one of the particles and the coating material is received in an annular opening defined between the first and second concentric capillary tubes; and an electrode isolated from but positioned in proximity to the dispensing tip of the capillary tube electrode, wherein a nonuniform electrical field is created between the capillary tube electrode and the electrode such that a spray of microdroplets suspending at least particles is provided from the dispensing tip, and further wherein upon evaporation of the microdroplets the particles are coated with the coating material. 12. The apparatus of claim 11, wherein the capillary tube electrode further includes a casing concentric with at least a portion of the second capillary tube between a first and second open end thereof, the second open end of the second capillary tube extending beyond the casing a predetermined distance, and further wherein the apparatus includes a gas source providing a gas to be received between the second capillary tube and the concentric casing. 13. The apparatus of claim 11, wherein an electrical charge is concentrated on the coated particles as the microdroplet evaporates, and further wherein a space charge effect of the concentrated electrical charge substantially prevents agglomeration of the coated particles. 14. The apparatus of claim 13, wherein the electrical charge concentrated on a coated particle is in the range of about 80 percent to about 95 percent of a maximum charge that is held by the microdroplet. 15. The apparatus of claim 11, wherein the particles have a nominal diameter of about 2 nanometers to about 1 micron. 16. The apparatus of claim 15, wherein the particles have a nominal diameter of about 10 nanometers to about 100 nanometers. 17. The apparatus of claim 11, wherein the particle source comprises at least one suspension comprising biological material particles. 18. The apparatus of claim 11, wherein the particle source comprises biological material particles. 19. The apparatus of claim 11, wherein the coating material comprises a facilitating transfer material.
