  • Abstract
    Mortal viruses attack mankind last years and others can arrive early. The rapid detection of the viruses is very important to prevent against pandemic spread. The method of rapid detection is presented in this work. Techniques using micro- and nanotechnology are used for implementation of the method to lab on a chip. The paramagnetic particles are modified using biotechnology to make easy separation and electrochemical detection of viral nucleic acids. The method was approved for detection of viruses HIV and H5N1. Finally the device is designed with aim to prepare low-cost miniature system for mass screening in a case of pandemic.
