Abstract
Automated detection of the influenza virus is important for the prevention of infectious viruses. Herein, assisted by three-dimensional (3-D) magnetophoretic separation and magnetic label, an automated detection device was constructed for H7N9 influenza virus hemagglutinin. Multi-layer glass slides were used to generate a 3-D microchannel network with two-level channels, realizing 3-D magnetophoretic separation with a magnetic field in the vertical direction to microchannels for the sample treatment. After the immunomagnetic separation, a magnetic-tagged complex was captured in an antibody-modified glass capillary, where magnetic beads further as a label could cause the voltage change of the miniature tube liquid sensor to obtain the detection signal. Moreover, the whole detection process and detection results were controlled and read through a liquid crystal display (LCD) screen to improve the automation. Finally, the detection limit was calculated to be 8.4 ng mL-1 for H7N9 hemagglutinin and had good specificity and reproducibility. These results indicate that this detection device proposes promising automated avenues for the early detection of infectious diseases.
