  Background: In the event of a biological warfare attack, prompt real-time detection methods are necessary to identify the presence of a pathogen well before victims begin exhibiting symptoms in order to allow sufficient time for therapeutic intervention. Current techniques for detecting the presence of biological warfare agents in high-risk environments are exclusively structure-based, relying on the identification of key structural components of specific pathogens that are already well-known and studied. These techniques provide no defense against the modern capability to synthesize new and unfamiliar pathogens of an arbitrary structure that could evade these detection mechanisms. Methods/Results: This investigation tested the prospect of using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) to create a real-time function-based biosensor to iden.. Read More»
