Area of Science:

  • * Biophysics
  • * Medical Diagnostics
  • * Spectroscopy

Background:

  • * The SARS-CoV-2 virus has caused a global pandemic for over two years.
  • * Accurate and rapid diagnostic methods are crucial for controlling viral spread.
  • * Existing diagnostic techniques may have limitations in speed or accessibility.

Purpose of the Study:

  • * To introduce a novel diagnostic approach for detecting SARS-CoV-2.
  • * To investigate the utility of nonlinear dielectric spectroscopy for virus detection.
  • * To identify and validate specific harmonic signatures indicative of SARS-CoV-2 presence.

Main Methods:

  • * Development of a diagnostic system employing nonlinear dielectric spectroscopy.
  • * Injection of a known current into SARS-CoV-2 virus sample suspensions.
  • * Analysis of the power spectrum to detect the third harmonic as a biomarker.

Main Results:

  • * Positive SARS-CoV-2 samples exhibited 5-10 dBc higher third harmonic ratios compared to negative samples.
  • * Computational modeling supported the hypothesis that viral E-proteins contribute to harmonic generation.
  • * The developed system demonstrated the ability to differentiate between positive and negative samples in solution.

Conclusions:

  • * Nonlinear dielectric spectroscopy presents a viable method for SARS-CoV-2 detection.
  • * Harmonic signatures can serve as reliable biomarkers for the virus.
  • * This represents the first application of harmonic signatures for SARS-CoV-2 detection in swab samples.
