Grabbing Viruses Out of Thin Air

Asia Research News  November 25, 2020 An international team of researchers (Japan, China, UK) review the state of the art of research on biosensor materials for virus detection. Topics covered include a general description of the principles for virus detection, a critique of the experimental work dedicated to various virus sensors, a summary of their detection limitations. They examined the piezoelectric sensors used for the detection of human papilloma, vaccinia, dengue, Ebola, influenza A, human immunodeficiency, and hepatitis B viruses. Magnetostrictive sensors for the detection of bacterial spores, proteins, and classical swine fever are covered. Progress related to early detection […]
