STTR Phase I: A Monolithic Spiral Coil Acoustic Transduction Immunosensor

该小型企业技术转让 (STTR) 第一阶段研究项目旨在开发一种单片螺旋线圈声传导 (MSCAT) 免疫传感器，用于检测饮用水中的大肠杆菌。 MSCAT 传感器比标准传感器更灵敏，因为它可以检测目标分析物引起的电气和机械特性变化。 公共卫生官员对快速、灵敏和可靠地检测水中细菌污染物非常感兴趣，该项目开发的技术也可能扩展到其他微生物。

This Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I research project aims to develop a monolithic spiral coil acoustic transduction (MSCAT) immunosensor for the detection of E. coli, in drinking water. The MSCAT sensor is more sensitive than standard ones because it can detect both electrical and mechanical property changes caused by a target analyte. Fast, sensitive and reliable detection of bacterial contaminants in water is of great interest to public health officials and the technology developed in this project may be expanded to cover other microorganisms as well.
