Abstract
A method for evaluating a capacity of a serum to neutralize a virus is disclosed. The method includes preparing a solution comprising at least one cell, a serum and a virus, placing the solution in contact with an organic electrochemical transistor comprising a source, a drain and a gate electrode, wherein the source and drain electrodes are electrically connected by means of a conductive channel, applying a potential difference between the drain and source electrode, applying a plurality of pulses of a potential difference between the gate and source electrode and measuring a respective plurality of values of pulses of current flowing through the channel; calculating a value of an estimation of a response time of the transistor, and comparing the value of the estimated response time with respect to a threshold value and detecting whether the serum has a neutralising capacity against the at least one virus.
