A Scalable Aptamer-based Electrochemical Biosensor for Rapid Detection of SARS-Cov-2 from Saliva
Abstract Text: The COVID-19 pandemic is a critical global public health emergency and many countries are failing to contain the virus’s spread due to slow and insufficient testing. While several diagnostic methods are now available, most tests are either reagent-intensive and must be done in CLIA-approved labs, making them expensive and slow to report results,…

Direct Bioelectronic Detection of SARS-Cov-2 from Saliva using Singlemolecule Field-effect Transistor Array
Abstract Text: Direct bioelectronic detection of SARS-CoV-2 from saliva using single-molecule field-effect transistor array Nucleic acid tests have become the gold-standard for diagnostic testing for COVID-19, usually performed in specialized laboratories. Most are based on reverse-transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). The time required for specimen transport and processing results in a turnaround time that…

A Multimodal Platform for Oral Screening of COVID-19
Abstract Text: The development of a rapid and reliable sensor system from readily available oral specimens is crucial for the screening and management of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Other than tests that require laboratory-scale instrumentation, the development of rapid tests can play a timely role in the management of an outbreak. Current rapid tests often involve the…
