Scientists Developing Smartphone Sensor To Instantly Detect Coronavirus
GE researchers are currently working on a sensor that can be plugged into smartphones and wearable devices that will detect the presence of novel coronavirus nanoparticles. Reuters The electronic sensors are essentially based on the same test method currently used in laboratories to detect the presence of SARS CoV-2. Instead of focusing on other diseases, you only recognize the coronavirus specifically .

GE explains the project with the words: “Tools available for the detection of the SARS-CoV-2 virus require extensive sample preparation and / or expensive laboratory equipment in order to obtain accurate results. The aim of this pro
