Title
Detection of the Cytomegalovirus - A Mobile Device and a Disposable Cartridge for Detection at the Patient's Bed.
Abstract
Recently, cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection has become the most frequent cause of congenital infections. The French Health Authority (HAS) is urging a diagnosis at birth for newborns. Since no screening device is commercially available, a consortium has been established to set-up an original device. It consists of a disposable cartridge containing the biological sample and the reactive liquids required for immunofluorescencence detection on a functionalized surface. It also consists of a mobile reader used to drive the fluids onto the biosensor and to ensure the optical measurement. Up to now, positive and negative samples can be discriminated with a fluorescence intensity ratio of 3.
