(Student TU Delft) Wymenga, L.F.A. (TU Delft Electronic Components, Technology and Materials) van Turnhout, J. (TU Delft Team Erik Offerman) van Zeijl, H.W. (TU Delft Electronic Components, Technology and Materials) Zhang, Kouchi (TU Delft Electronic Components, Technology and Materials) Date 2023 Abstract Micro-devices that use electric fields to trap, analyze and inactivate micro-organisms vary in concept, design and application. The application of electric fields to manipulate and inactivate bacteria and single-celled organisms has been described extensively in the literature. By contrast, the effect of such fields on viruses is not well understood. This review explores the possibility of using existing methods for manipulating and inactivating larger viruses and bacteria, for smaller viruses, such as SARS-CoV-2. It also provides an overview of the theoretical background. The findings may be used to implement new ideas and frame experimental parameters that optimize the manipulation, sampling and inactivation of SARS-CoV-2 electrically.
