Abstract

In the past decades, there are obvious technological improvement and development in diagnostic tests for infection pathogen. One of the most common infection pathogen is dengue virus. In this paper, a rapid dengue antigen detecting device is proposed with the combination of piezoelectric biosensor. The target antigen of this device is NS1 in human secretion. In the literature review part, a general introduction on dengue disease is discussed and the overview of the dengue diagnostic technologies is studied. Thus, a comparison is made in terms of time response and cost and summarized in the graph. Besides that, the current dengue diagnostic tests that used in clinic and hospital is also a part of literature review so that the device that is going to design is functional in real environment. The purpose of the piezoelectric biosensor is to detect the binding process of NS1 antigen on the conjugation part (mass changes) and convert to the electrical signal.
