Nanotip analysis for dielectrophoretic concentration of nanosized viral particles

Abstract: Rapid and sensitive detection of low-abundance viral particles is strongly demanded in health care, environmental control, military defense, and homeland security. Current detection methods, however, lack either assay speed or sensitivity, mainly due to the nanosized viral particles. In this paper, we compare a dendritic, multi-terminal nanotip ('dendritic nanotip') with a single terminal nanotip ('single nanotip') for dielectrophoretic (DEP) concentration of viral particles. The numerical computation studies … Show more

“…Multiple particle paths in a medium can be investigated when they are concentrated to a sharp electrode by DEP (Figure 3d) where a nanostructured tip attracts nanoparticles, dispersed in a solution drop. This DEP method using an alternating current (AC) electric field has successfully concentrated low-abundance nanoparticles such as T7 phage [63,66], DNA [67,68], gold [69], and oligonucleotides [70,71]. A schematic illustration in Figure 3e [63] captures the working principle of DEP for concentration of nanoparticles in a medium.…”

“…Once pre-concentrated, the detection can be carried out by fluorescence and electrical measurement [147]. Such an amplification-free platform can show a high sensitivity equivalent to polymerase chain reaction but with a short assay time [148]. The nanostructured tip offers a simple configuration for POC diagnosis as well as a convenient home-diagnostic platform, and mechanical analysis plays an important role in rapid development of novel tip designs for specific problems.…”
