▎ 摘 要
NOVELTY - System 100 comprises a biosensor including at least one field-effect transistor along a length of an apparatus, at least one field-effect transistor having one or more capture proteins conjugated to it, and one or more capture proteins being configured to bind a virus in the effluent, a fluidic channel 104 arranged above field-effect transistor and along the length of apparatus such that fluid of effluent flows over field-effect transistor by the fluidic channel, and a processing circuitry configured to apply a gate voltage to each of the at least one field-effect transistor, measure a conductance across each of the at least one field-effect transistor, a change in the conductance based on an amount of the virus bound to the one or more capture proteins, compare the measured conductance across each of the at least one field-effect transistor to a threshold conductance, and transmit information indicating a presence of virus in the effluent to a computing device. USE - System for monitoring viral loads in effluent. ADVANTAGE - The system has ability to make highly sensitive and instantaneous measurement using small amount of analyte or antigen. DETAILED DESCRIPTION - System comprises a biosensor including at least one field-effect transistor along a length of an apparatus, at least one field-effect transistor having one or more capture proteins conjugated to it, and one or more capture proteins being configured to bind a virus in the effluent, a fluidic channel arranged above field-effect transistor and along the length of apparatus such that fluid of effluent flows over field-effect transistor by the fluidic channel, and a processing circuitry configured to apply a gate voltage to each of the at least one field-effect transistor, measure a conductance across each of the at least one field-effect transistor, a change in the conductance based on an amount of the virus bound to the one or more capture proteins, compare the measured conductance across each of the at least one field-effect transistor to a threshold conductance, and transmit information indicating a presence of virus in the effluent to a computing device when the comparison indicates the measured conductance across each of the at least one field-effect transistor satisfies the threshold conductance. INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are also included for: (1) an apparatus for monitoring viral load in effluent comprises processing circuitry; and (2) a method for monitoring viral loads in effluent by applying a gate voltage to each of at least one graphene-based field-effect transistor disposed along a length of an apparatus, graphene-based field-effect transistor having one or more capture proteins conjugated to it and capture proteins being configured to bind a virus in the effluent , by processing circuitry; measuring a conductance across each of graphene-based field-effect transistor and change in the conductance based on an amount of the virus bound to the one or more capture proteins by the processing circuitry; comparing measured conductance across each of the at least one graphene-based field-effect transistor to a threshold conductance by the processing circuitry; and transmitting information indicating a presence of the virus in the effluent to a computing device when the comparing indicates the measured conductance across each of graphene-based field-effect transistor satisfies the threshold conductance by the processing circuitry to a computing device, where one or more capture proteins are one or more SARS-CoV-2 spike antibodies.
