READ LINK: Viral mutations will not interfere with the impedance fingerprints and yield identical results. Mutations do not cause conflicting and contradictory impedance results, because the mutations are at the genetic nucleotide sequence level and very small.

“...have two key potential advantages: the ability to continuously monitor the environment, and to detect unspecified viruses and mutants, since biological information on genomes or receptors is not required.

The data clearly showed that the virus concentration can be quantified by the impedance value. Furthermore, the three virus types could be distinguished by plotting the phase at 100 kHz against the phase of the peak value of the imaginary component of the impedance for each virus type.

The results nevertheless show that the proposed nonlinear impedance spectroscopy method may achieve a sensitivity comparable to that of PCR and immunodetection systems.
