On-Chip Electrophoretic Concentration of Liposomes for Antibody-Based Viral Biosensors
نویسندگان
چکیده
This work presents a microfluidic device that can be used to detect the presence of viral pathogens in environmental water samples. The device integrates a membrane-based preconcentration unit with an electrochemical biosensor on the same platform. This integration has the potential to increase the sensitivity of detection thereby enabling detection of small concentrations of viruses at environmental levels.

Background: Non-viral Nano carriers such as liposomes and cationic polymers based on engineered properties are regarded in gene delivery field. Although these carriers do not have weaknesses of viral vectors, but they are less efficient than viruses and they still need to be improved as favorable gene delivery carriers. Amongst non-viral carriers, cationic liposomes have been proposed for clini...
