Molecular Surveillance of Viral Processes Using Silicon Nitride Membranes

Molecular Surveillance of Viral Processes Using Silicon Nitride Membranes

Here we present new applications for silicon nitride (SiN) membranes to evaluate biological processes. We determined that 50-nanometer thin films of SiN produced from silicon wafers were sufficiently durable to bind active rotavirus assemblies. A direct comparison of SiN microchips with conventional...
