Digital diffraction detection of protein markers for avian influenza

Lab Chip. 2016 Apr 21;16(8):1340-5. doi: 10.1039/c5lc01558h.

Abstract

Rapid pathogen testing is expected to play a critical role in infection control and in limiting epidemics. Smartphones equipped with state-of-the-art computing and imaging technologies have emerged as new point-of-use (POU) sensing platforms. We herein report a new assay format for fast, sensitive and portable detection of avian influenza-associated antibodies.
