NewsTiny vortices help detect dangerous viruses
Due to the specific wavelengths of vibrations used to create these tiny whirlpools, they efficiently trap cells, bacteria and other larger bioparticles found in saliva while leaving antibodies and viruses free to flow forward through multiple biosensing chambers.
