Smartphone camera used to diagnose viral infections
by Bob Yirka , Medical Xpress Three-dimensional schematic of the CNN–nanoparticle-enabled smartphone for virus detection. The detection process comprises three main steps. (A) Virus capture and labeling using Pt-nanoprobes. The samples are loaded into microchips modified with mAbs against the virus envelope protein and incubated to allow the capture of target virus for 20 min....
