Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention relate to a method comprising obtaining a radio frequency response of a lab-on-chip based resonator with virus deposited within a recess of the resonator, determining at least one parameter of the radio frequency response and identifying a type of the virus or a group to which the virus belongs based on the at least one parameter.
Claims16
A method comprising:
- obtaining at a first temperature a radio frequency response of a lab-on-chip based resonator with a virus deposited within a recess of the resonator,
- determining at the first temperature a first value of at least one parameter of the radio frequency response,
- obtaining, at a second temperature, a radio frequency response of the resonator with the virus deposited within the resonator;
- determining at the second temperature a second value of the at least one parameter;
- and
- identifying a type of the virus or a group to which the virus belongs based on a comparison between the first value and the second value,
- wherein the first temperature is 37° C., and the second temperature is 47° C.
4 more elements
An apparatus comprising:
- a device configured to obtain, at a first temperature and a second temperature, a radio frequency response of a lab-on-chip based resonator with a virus deposited within a recess of the resonator,
- a device configured to determine a first value of at least one parameter of the radio frequency response obtained at the first temperature and to determine a second value of the at least one parameter of the radio frequency response obtained at the second temperature,
- at least one processor and at least one memory for storing the first and second value, the processor causing the apparatus to identify a type of the virus or a group to which the virus belongs based on a comparison between the first and second values of the at least one parameter, wherein the first temperature is 37° C., and the second temperature is 47° C.
