Analysis of the Physical Behavior of Viruses Using the Integrated Virus Detection System (IVDS)
Abstract
A new method for virus analysis has been indicated for years. This situation has reached a new and emerging viruses that tax present detection methods. Adding the cost of current methods to analyze large numbers of samples and a clear and urgent situation has developed. Fortunately, a new means for detecting the present or absence of viruses has been developed that capitalizes on the fundamental physical properties associated with these tiny microbes. The Integrated Virus Detection System (IVDS) utilizes exquisite, but regular methods, to purify and concentrate samples for sizing and counting using the usual methods of Differential Mobility Analysis and Condensation Particle Counting. Thus a new method that is essentially a virus particle counter has been invented, patented and demonstrated for a wide range of both enveloped and non-enveloped viruses. The invention is described and examples illustrated.
