Abstract
Despite the ubiquitous nature of influenza, existing rapid diagnostics exhibit poor sensitivity and lack the ability to subtype [1]. We have developed a paper-based assay to target the viral surface protein hemagglutinin (HA) using computationally designed affinity proteins. This assay has been validated for the detection of two strains of the influenza virus spiked into influenza-negative nasal swab samples. Here, we present a device for the automation of this assay for specific detection of intact influenza virus. Using recent advances in paper microfluidics, we demonstrate that the integration of an enzymatic amplification technique using separate fluid paths can be used to enable high sensitivity on device.
