Nano Biosensor for Rapid Detection of Flu Virus
- Summary
- Early detection of epidemic viruses is of prime importance as it may enhance the probability of survival for a patient. Conventional detection techniques either require long processing time for accurate results or have low sensitivity. This low-cost luminescent detection platform with ultra-sensitivity can detect different flu viruses 10 times faster than conventional clinical methods. The nano biosensor, carrying a DNA sequence complementary to the related gene of the target flu virus, can capture the virus genes and report a change in luminescence intensity in the presence of virus genes. It can be used for rapid virus screening and on-site flu detection.
- Technology Benefits
- • An ultrasensitive process 10 times quicker, costing 80% less
• Poses minimal damage to virus oligonucleotides and does not induce autofluorescence
• Supports denser hybridization reactions with ultrasensitivity
• Detects multiple subtypes of viruses on a single platform simultaneously
- Application No.
