Method and Relative System for the Detection of a Viral Agent by Microwave Dielectric Spectroscopy

A method for detecting a viral agent including the steps of placing a first sample that includes an isotonic solution in a waveguide which is axially delimited by a pair of containment elements that are substantially transparent to microwaves and define respective interfaces of the sample; transmitt...

Zusammenfassung:A method for detecting a viral agent including the steps of placing a first sample that includes an isotonic solution in a waveguide which is axially delimited by a pair of containment elements that are substantially transparent to microwaves and define respective interfaces of the sample; transmitting a signal with frequency variable in a predetermined microwave band to the first sample; acquiring at least one dielectric parameter of the first sample as the frequency varies by means of transmission and reflection measurements; repeating the previous steps for a second sample; and performing a differential spectroscopic analysis on the parameters for assessing the presence of a viral agent in at least one of the samples.
