Release date: 2006-09-27 The United States has developed an ultra-small microbial detector. A tiny structure called a nanovibrator can be used as a detector to detect bacteria, viruses and other pathogens, because when different contaminants adhere to it, they can vibrate at different frequencies. . Because of its small size, this nanovibrator is more sensitive than other large equipment and can be placed on top of various contaminant detectors to alert you in the early stages of dangerous pathogens. Purdue University (West Lafayette, IN, USA) discovered the Brick Nanotechnology Center in the park and found that the nanovibrators, which are coated with various antibodies, are able to detect specific viruses and adsorb different densities - or the number of antibodies per area - based on The different sizes of the probes. This device is immersed in a liquid containing the antibody to allow the protein to adsorb on the surface of the vibrator. Ultra-Small Sensors Detect Microorganisms Tiny structures called nanocantilevers could be used in detectors of bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens, because they vibrate at dfrequencies when contaminants stick to them. Because of the minute size of the nanocantilever, it is more sensitive than larger Devices, and could be incorporated in detectors of contaminants that provide early warning of the presence of dangerous pathogens. Scientists at the Birck Nanotechnology Center at Discovery Park, Purdue University (West Lafayette, IN, USA), found that the cantilevers, coated with antibodies To detect certain viruses, attract Ganoherb International Inc. , http://www.ganoherb.us
