Recently, a research group led by Prof. Liu Yong and Prof. Zhu Ling from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, developed a spatial encoding of centrifugal microfluidic disk integrated smartphone-controlled (SEDphone) platform for influenza virus subtypes detection.
The research results were published in Sensors and Actuators: B. Chemical.
Influenza virus poses a serious public health threat, causing epidemics annually with high morbidity and mortality rates. Moreover, influenza viruses exhibit high mutation rates and manifest in multiple subtypes, necessitating different clinical intervention strategies. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an accurate, rapid, and portable solution to differentiate between different influenza virus subtypes, control virus spread, and guide clinical treatment decisions.
In this study, researchers...
