There is an urgent need for new methods and alternative techniques for viral detection in response to the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. A novel strategy is employed for viral detection that purifies virions with a nanofluidic/microfluidic (NF/MF) system prior to protein analysis by mass spectrometry. The NF/MF system addresses the fundamental challenge...

In this presentation, we will discuss our development of a plastic chip smaller than the size of a credit card, which is mass produced via injection molding, to enrich and count the number of enriched viral particles using affinity selection and label-free counting, respectively. The chip can accept any clinical...

In the diagnostics and surveillance of COVID-19 and other pathogens, and many other industrial applications such as sterility tests for biomanufacturing, it is necessary to be able to detect the lowest abundance virus or bacterial cells, contained in a large volume of original sample. Current sample preparation workflow is not...

Microfluidics has revolutionized the manner in which many detection assessments are carried out. Working on the microscale offers attractive advantages over traditional bench-scale techniques. Electrokinetics (EK), the movement of particles and fluids under the action of electrical fields, is one of the main pillars of microfluidics. EK-based techniques are suitable...
