Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for detecting viral particles, viral proteins, viral RNA, or viral DNA in multiple fluids. The methods consist of applying a magnetic torque to functionalized magnetic beads in a fluid solution resting on a functionalized substrate. The solution is comprised of one of the following: intact viral particles, viral proteins, RNA, or DNA. The presence and/or quantity of the aforementioned molecules or viruses is detected by measuring the translational velocity of the beads. The methods here described can detect multiple different species simultaneously using a multiplexed assay. Also, the systems here included are able to process multiple samples simultaneously.
