Singapore develops rapid detection device for avian influenza virus According to reports, Singapore researchers have developed a handheld device that can detect the N5H1 avian influenza virus from sampled samples within 30 minutes.
It takes about 4 hours to detect the N5H1 avian influenza virus by conventional means of commercial application, and it is necessary to separate and amplify the virus using an instrument before the test. The new device developed by researchers such as Jürgen Piper of the Singapore Institute of Bioengineering and Nanotechnology combines the processes of separation, purification, amplification and detection of viruses.
The researchers say the new device automatically separates and purifies the genetic material of the virus by mixing human throat swab samples with superparamagnetic particles. The results of hundreds of tests conducted by them show that the accuracy of the new device is comparable, but faster and less expensive than conventional methods. Researchers believe that this device can be used to detect SARS, AIDS and hepatitis B viruses. ——Shanghai Medical Device Industry Association website
