Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The aim of this study is to develop a method detecting infectious virus rapidly and easily by using dielectrophoretic impedance measurement, DEPIM. Adenovirus and rotavirus were used as testing viruses. At first, dielectric property of the viruses was evaluated by direct observation of the dielectrophoresis of them. Then, DEPIM of the viruses was carried out. It was demonstrated that the sensitivity of the DEPIM was several tens ng/ml. Because the sensitivity was not enough to effective detection of infectious viruses, new method using dielectrophoresis of microbeads was proposed. This method detects DNA amplified from target viruses by polymerase chain reaction. Effectiveness of the method was demonstrated by using amplified DNA from RNA derived from norovirus and human immunodeficiency virus.
