Detection Rapide Des Microorganismes
Detection Rapide Des Microorganismes
Detailed description
The test is based on interactions between liquids of interest and chip microchannels walls. The liquid sample to be tested is mixed with a suspension of magnetic nanoballs that are functionalized by probe receptors (DNA, antibody). It is injected in the microfluidic chip. Its filling speed by capilarity depends on the presence and concentration of target microorganism (DNA, antigen). This speed measurement, compared to reference speed, allows to determine qualitatively and quantitatively absence or presence of microorganisms and their concentration in the sample.
Advantages / Novelty
Detection without labelling Test adaptable to any biological affinity system Quick test at room temperature Low samples volumes Low manufacturing cost Transportable detection system Device easy to use
Applications
- Environment: water security - Agrofood: food security - Biomedical and veterinary analyses: immunodetection, genetic detection
