SBIR Phase I: BVDV Detection by Novel Micropost Technology

SBIR一期项目将开发一种基于微博技术的机载生物传感器平台，用于检测牲畜体内的病毒病原体。该系统依靠免疫检测系统来识别病原体的存在。第一阶段项目将在实验室和受感染的牲畜中进行概念验证，以证明该技术在应对单一选定病原体方面的功能。该项目的更广泛/商业影响将是提供一种新的病毒监测手段，理想情况下，它将提供更早的病毒感染检测，与血液或组织取样相比，它更实用，侵入性更小。

This SBIR Phase I project will develop an on-board biosensor platform based upon micropost technology that will detect viral pathogens in livestock. The system relies upon an immuno-detection system to identify the presence of the pathogen. The Phase I project will establish proof of concept both in the laboratory and with infected livestock to demonstrate the function of the technology in response to a single selected pathogen.The broader/commercial impact of the project will be to provide a new means of viral monitoring that ideally would provide earlier detection of viral infection and is more practical and less invasive as compared to blood or tissue sampling.
