Paper-based electrochemical sensor can detect COVID-19 in
less than five minutes

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to spread across
the world, testing remains a key strategy for tracking and
containing the virus. Bioengineering graduate student, Maha
Alafeef, has co-developed a rapid, ultrasensitive test using a
paper-based electrochemical sensor that can detect the presence of
the virus in less than five minutes. The team led by professor
Dipanjan Pan reported their findings in ACS Nano.
