Automatic recording of virus concentration and size
Fast Virus Counting Platform
Utilizes “Virus Window”
Counts intact virus particles without PCR, antibodies or reagents
Detection of all viruses types – enables detection of all viruses, including unknowns.
Multiple viruses counted in same sample in a few minutes.
Accumulate over time (additional advantage)

Work to date indicates the following:
• Detect viruses in 5 minutes*
• Determines presence of Threat
• Determines absence of Threat
• Gives Concentration and Size
• Can be used in combination with other technologies.
* Depending on sample source and need for preparation.
