Afficher plus [+] Moins [-]Detection and identification of viruses present a particularly difficult challenge. In this report, we describe how a newly invented device detects and identifies viruses by measuring their physical characteristics (size) and breakdown products. The report starts by briefly describing the Integrated Virus Detection System (IVDS) and its components. It also describes how we characterize several known viruses. In addition, this report shows how the IVDS can be used to isolate and characterize viruses from complex media (e.g., drinking water, blood plasma, and sea water). Finally, we suggest some applications where the IVDS could be useful.
