Real-time Monitoring of Pathogens and Nanomarkers in Water using Resonance Laser Spectroscopy Techniques

摘要

Close Corporation SERVET is a multifunctional commercial enterprise, which develops new technologies and produces equipment in the fields of housing and public utilities, environmental protection and health care, nature management and mining operations. During past ten years our company has been involved in research and development programs in the sphere of medical diagnostics and treatment, manufacturing new drugs and medical equipment, intended for timely detecting infectious diseases and identifying qualitative and quantitative characteristics of infectious agents both in a human organism and in other environments (water, soil, foodstuff, premises, etc). Having completed a long research work containing different aspects of physics, virology and microbiology, we came to an obvious conclusion, that, the physio-chemical properties (characteristics) of various pathogens (viruses, bacteria etc.) are strictly specific for each stage of their development in an organism or environment We studied VIS-near IR spectra of a number of pathogens (salmonella, herpes genitalis, hepatitis A and C, grippe viruses A and B) as well as water solutions of nanosilver and superluminescent nanomarkers. The research results enabled us to work out an operating model for a unique medical device for complex noninvasive and aliquotfree express diagnostics (i.e. without blood test and/or laboratory sampling of human tissue) for viruses and infectious disease agents. Currently we are developing equipment for monitoring of drinking water. [1,] In our contribution, we discuss a new method, allowing real-time monitoring of a number of pathogens in water.
