“…In addition to an analysis of suspended cell populations (e.g., red blood cells, platelets, lymphocytes, monocytes, and granulocytes), Ferris et al [58] also performed viral analysis, and demonstrated the rapid enumeration of adenovirus, respiratory syncytial virus, and influenza virus. Their instrument was able to complete an analysis within 1 h, and thereby, possesses clear advantages over conventional viral analysis procedures, such as, cell culture techniques, plaque assays, or tunneling electron microscopy.…”
