  Whirlpools are mostly associated with death and danger on the high seas, but these glowing vortexes are working to help humanity. One of the most difficult steps in creating diagnostic tests is purifying samples to remove unwanted particles while concentrating biomarkers of interest.


The article from MSN discusses a breakthrough in virus detection technology developed by researchers at the University of Arizona. They have created a method using tiny vortexes, or "microvortices," to detect viruses like influenza and coronaviruses more efficiently. This technique involves passing a sample through a microfluidic device where the viruses are trapped in these vortexes, allowing for their concentration and subsequent detection with high sensitivity. This approach not only speeds up the detection process but also reduces the amount of sample needed, making it particularly useful for early diagnosis and potentially for monitoring viral outbreaks in real-time. The technology could revolutionize how we detect and manage viral infections, offering a faster, more cost-effective solution compared to traditional methods.
