According to many experts, early diagnosis and
management are critical for slowing the spread of SARS-CoV-2, the
new coronavirus that causes COVID-19. Therefore, the race is on to
develop diagnostic tests for the virus that are faster, easier and
more accurate than existing ones. Now, researchers reporting in ACS
Nano have developed a field-effect transistor-based biosensor that
detects SARS-CoV-2 in nasopharyngeal swabs from patients with
COVID-19, in less than one minute.
