“A new biosensor for the COVID-19 virus: Detection in the environment” -BIONITY
The sensor is based on gold nanoislands, on a glass substrate. Artificially produced DNA receptors that match specific RNA sequences of the SARS-CoV-2 are grafted onto the nanoislands. The coronavirus is a so-called RNA virus: Its genome does not consist of a DNA double strand as in living organisms, but of a single RNA strand. The receptors on the sensor are therefore the complementary sequences to the virus’ unique RNA sequences, which can reliably identify the virus.
In future it could be used to measure the concentration of the virus in the environment – for example in places where there are many people or in hospital ventilation systems.

“Beyond RT-PCR: New methods emerge for coronavirus diagnostics” – by Kate Madden Yee, LabPulse.com
Although RT-PCR assays tend to be accurate, in some countries test kits have been in limited supply or results have piled up in a backlog. Furthermore, the RT-PCR test isn’t perfect, wrote a team led by Dr. Guangyu Qiu of the Institute of Environmental Engineering in Zürich.
“Reliable laboratory diagnosis of the disease has been one of the foremost priorities for promoting public health interventions,” Qiu and colleagues wrote.
